Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: Case Reports and Analysis With Ultrasound Imaging

NCT01196637 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 6

Last updated 2010-09-09

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Thoracic outlet syndrome is caused by compression of the brachial plexus, in most cases under the pectoralis minor muscle in the infraclavicular region of the shoulder. The hypothesis is that ultrasound imaging can be used to visualize brachial plexus compression and distortion of the pectoralis muscle during arm activity, such as abduction, and that normal subjects will not demonstrate any plexus compression or muscle distortion.
