In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study will build on data from mice and humans implicating TRPV1 nociceptors in the pathogenesis of the type-17 chronic inflammatory skin disease Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS). In this study, the investigators will test the hypothesis that inhibiting neuropeptide activity with botulinum toxin reduces pathogenic inflammation.
