Sweating

Profuse sweating is a common complaint among people with SCI and research has documented that many experience periodic increased sweating associated with AD, orthostatic hypotension, or posttraumatic syringomyelia (Khurana, 1987, Jane et al. 1982, Kramer & Levine 1997). Although the most common pattern in SCI is excessive sweating above the lesion level, sweating below the lesion level can also occur. These likely represent different autonomic mechanisms, the pathways of which have not yet been clarified.
