Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
Transversal recording and analysis of investigations performed in patients referred for suspected thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS)
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
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTUltrasound
Echodoppler imaging of upper limbs performed by trained operators at rest and during provocative maneuvers for TOS diagnosis.
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTangiography
Angiography (arterial and/or venous) of upper limbs performed by trained operators at rest and during provocative maneuvers such for TOS diagnosis.
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTquestionnaires
Use of standard questionnaires (MASC, DASH, SF36) for the evaluation of upper limb symptoms self-completed by the patients at admission.
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTTranscutaneous oximetry
Mesurement of transcutaneuos oxygen pressure on both forearms performed at rest and during provocative maneuversfor TOS diagnosis.
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTplethysmography
Photoplethysmography of the forearms or fingers performed at rest and during provocative maneuvers for TOS diagnosis
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTElectromyogram
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
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTStandard X-Ray
Standard X-Ray performed for the research of apophysomegaly or additionnal cervical rib.
