Treatment for thoracic outlet syndrome.
Povlsen B, Hansson T, Povlsen SD. Povlsen B, et al. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2014 Nov 26;(11):CD007218. doi: 10.1002/14651858.CD007218.pub3. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2014. PMID: 25427003 Review.
The first trial that met our requirements involved 55 participants with the 'disputed type' of TOS and compared transaxillary first rib resection (TFRR) with supraclavicular neuroplasty of the brachial plexus (SNBP). The trial had a high risk of bias. TFRR decreased …
