Trial summary

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is characterized by nervous, venous or arterial symptoms resulting from a compression of the thoracic bundle in the thoracic outlet. The diagnostic approach of TOS is still controversial. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Apport de l'évaluation de l'ischémie de Membre supérieur Par oxymétrie transcutanée Dans la caractérisation de la Compression Vasculaire Chez Les Patients Suspects de Syndrome du défilé Thoraco-brachial

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is characterized by nervous, venous or arterial symptoms resulting from a compression of the thoracic bundle in the thoracic outlet. The diagnostic approach of TOS is still controversial. The investigating team is interested in arterial TOS and have already been able to demonstrate the presence of arm ischemia during dynamic maneuvers using transcutaneous oximetry (TcpO2). The correlation between the measurement of TcpO2 during dynamic maneuvers and the vascular compression type (arterial, venous or both) will be evaluated. The evaluation the correlation between TcpO2 and degree of arterial compression observed in dynamic arteriography (considered as a gold standard examination) will be calculated too. The use of TcpO2 could be developed in the diagnosis assessment of TOS.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Transcutaneous oximetryDiagnostic test

    Comparison of the TcpO2 values recorded during dynamic maneuver with the estimated rate of compression of the subclavian and axillary vessels determined on dynamic angiography.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. DROPmin according on the type of compression

    Variation in upper limb ischemia is estimated by TcpO2 measurement and calculating of the DROPmin (TcpO2 variation regarding a reference) depending on the type of damage (arterial, venous, or both arterial and venous).

    DROP is Decrease Rest of Oxygen Pressure

    Measured: thirty minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. DROPmin according on the degree of arterial stenosis

    To assess the correlation between the severity of upper limb ischemia by TcpO2 measurement and the degree of arterial stenosis observed in diagnostic arteriography.

    Measured: thirty minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, run by University Hospital, Angers at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

DROPmin according on the type of compression (time frame: thirty minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jan 2023.
