Summary

Background: With regard to patients with thoracic outlet syndrome (GBS), it is important to improve inspiratory muscle strength and endurance, and pain perception in patients with TOS, so that patients are able to regain pulmonary function and endurance. Objective: To investigate the impact of osteopathic interventions on respiratory parameters and pain levels in individuals diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). Subjects and methods: forty adults after the onset of TOS will be assigned randomly into two equal groups. In Group A will be allocated to traditional physical therapy program, three sessions/week in addition to 60-minute sessions of Osteopathic technique, one session/week for 3 months, group B will receive traditional physical therapy program, three sessions/week for 3 months. Selected respiratory parameters by spirometer, maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) and a visual analogue scale of pain severity, measured at baseline and after 3 months.

Conditions

  • Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

Osteopathic technique

Patients will be positioned in a supine position. Osteopathic technique will consist of supoccibital release, soft tissue release of thoracic outlet, mobilization of cervical facet joints, stretching of scalene anterior, scalene medius, upper trapezius, and levator scapula, pectorals major and minor. Subsequently, cost vertebral and cost transverse joint mobilizations will be applied using rib elevation. Then, manipulation of the vertebrae the levels between C6 and T1 will be applied using thrust mobilization technique. Afterwards, mobilization of the first rib will be applied. Finally, mobilization of the upper cervical spine will be performed.
