June 2, 2021 updated by: University Hospital, Angers

Evaluation Des Mesures Dopplers, Angiographiques, Radiographique Oximetriques, Plethysmographiques, Electromyographiques et Des Questionnaires Cliniques Des Patients adressés Pour Suspicion de Syndrome du défilé Thoraco-brachial

Transversal recording and analysis of investigations performed in patients referred for suspected thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS)

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Patients will have recording on a database of all investigations that were eventually performed for the diagnosis or follow up of their disease, among which:

  • Characteristics (Age, Gender height, weight, ongoing treatment ,
  • professional activity, sports activity,
  • Symptoms.
  • Forearm and finger photoplethysmography (PPG) during provocative maneuvers of the upper limb
  • Transcutaneous oxymetry (Tcpo2) recording
  • Standard questionnaires (MASC, DASH, FS36)
  • Doppler and ultrasound during provocative maneuvers of the upper limb
  • Angiography during provocative maneuvers of the upper limb
  • Electromyogram
  • Standard X-ray

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Patients with Thoracic outlet syndrome
Patients referred to the University Hospital of Angers for the diagnostis or follow-up of thoracic outlet syndrome
Echodoppler imaging of upper limbs performed by trained operators at rest and during provocative maneuvers for TOS diagnosis.
Angiography (arterial and/or venous) of upper limbs performed by trained operators at rest and during provocative maneuvers such for TOS diagnosis.
Use of standard questionnaires (MASC, DASH, SF36) for the evaluation of upper limb symptoms self-completed by the patients at admission.
Mesurement of transcutaneuos oxygen pressure on both forearms performed at rest and during provocative maneuversfor TOS diagnosis.
Photoplethysmography of the forearms or fingers performed at rest and during provocative maneuvers for TOS diagnosis
Electromyography of the upper limbs with encoding of the physician for the presence or abnsence of signs of plexis compression (impairment of the response on C8 T1 erea
Standard X-Ray performed for the research of apophysomegaly or additionnal cervical rib.
