Goals of Treatment for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

The objectives of treatment for patients with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) include:

Relieve and eliminate compression of the nerves and/or blood vessels in the thoracic outlet region
Control and minimize pain and other signs and symptoms associated with TOS
Improve the patient's overall quality of life

Since thoracic outlet syndrome may involve several components, the need may arise for a team of professionals to treat the condition, including a neurologist, orthopedic surgeon, vascular surgeon, and physical therapist or rehabilitation specialist.
