Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cohort 1 (Mild)

Participants with mild self-reported thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms (visual analog scale score 1-3).

No intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

This is an observational cross-sectional study. No intervention will be provided. Participants will be assessed and stratified into four cohorts based on self-reported symptom severity of thoracic outlet syndrome using a visual analog scale (VAS) to investigate the relationship between symptom severity and upper extremity function/neural integrity.

Cohort 2 (Moderate)

Participants with moderate self-reported thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms (visual analog scale score 4-6). No intervention will be provided.

No intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

This is an observational cross-sectional study. No intervention will be provided. Participants will be assessed and stratified into four cohorts based on self-reported symptom severity of thoracic outlet syndrome using a visual analog scale (VAS) to investigate the relationship between symptom severity and upper extremity function/neural integrity.

Cohort 3 (Severe)

participants with severe self-reported thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms (visual analog scale score 7-9). No intervention will be provided

This is an observational cross-sectional study. No intervention will be provided. Participants will be assessed and stratified into four cohorts based on self-reported symptom severity of thoracic outlet syndrome using a visual analog scale (VAS) to investigate the relationship between symptom severity and upper extremity function/neural integrity.

Cohort 4 (Very Severe)

Participants with very severe self-reported thoracic outlet syndrome symptoms (visual analog scale score 10). No intervention will be provided.

No intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

This is an observational cross-sectional study. No intervention will be provided. Participants will be assessed and stratified into four cohorts based on self-reported symptom severity of thoracic outlet syndrome using a visual analog scale (VAS) to investigate the relationship between symptom severity and upper extremity function/neural integrity.
