Low-Power Laser Therapy for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether low-power laser therapy can reduce pain and improve arm function in people with thoracic outlet syndrome—a condition where nerves or blood vessels in the shoulder area are compressed. Researchers want to see if this non-invasive light-based treatment helps with symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness in the upper arm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a physical therapy technique called mechanically loaded neuro-dynamics for people with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, a condition where nerves or blood vessels in the neck/shoulder area are compressed. It may help reduce pain and improve function.
This trial tests whether a special tape, called Kinesio tape, can quickly reduce symptoms of thoracic outlet syndrome, a condition where nerves or blood vessels are squeezed in the space between the collarbone and first rib. It may help with pain, numbness, or weakness in the arm and hand.
This study tests if talking with a counselor (motivational interviewing) can help people with long-term pain from thoracic outlet syndrome feel better. It is for adults who have not had surgery recently.
This study tests whether low-level laser therapy can improve symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help reduce pain and improve hand function without surgery.
This trial tests whether low-level laser therapy can reduce nerve pain (tingling, numbness, or electric shocks) that some people feel in their neck and shoulder area after a radical neck dissection. It's for patients who have had this type of surgery on one side of the neck and still have moderate to severe pain.
This trial tests whether high-intensity laser therapy can reduce long-lasting neck pain and improve daily function. It may help people whose neck pain has lasted at least 3 months and who meet specific pain and disability scores.
