  Fig. 1 The results of QSART. A: QSART findings in both auriculotemporal areas. Excessive sweating was observed on the left side after chewing gum. B: The sweat volume was larger in the left than the right auriculotemporal area. C: Sweating was significantly reduced on the left side after treatment with aluminum chloride cream at a 2-month follow-up. QSART: quantitative sudomotor axon reflex test
