Effect of Low-Power Laser Therapy on Pain and Functional Outcomes in Patients With Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Summary
NIH's ClinicalTrials.gov registered a new randomized controlled study (NCT07535853) evaluating low-power laser therapy combined with physical therapy versus conventional treatment alone for thoracic outlet syndrome patients. The trial aims to determine whether adding laser therapy provides superior pain relief and improves daily physical functions. The study carries an anticipated start date of April 17, 2026.
What changed
This entry documents a new clinical trial registration on ClinicalTrials.gov for a randomized controlled study examining the effectiveness of low-power laser therapy as an adjunct to physical therapy for thoracic outlet syndrome. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either active laser therapy combined with a physical therapy program or a control group receiving conventional treatment alone. The primary endpoints focus on pain intensity and functional outcomes.
For clinical investigators and healthcare institutions, this registration represents routine documentation of upcoming research rather than a new compliance obligation. The trial may influence future treatment protocols for thoracic outlet syndrome depending on outcomes. Patients seeking emerging treatment options may benefit from monitoring this trial's results.

Effect of Low-Power Laser Therapy on Pain and Functional Outcomes in Patients With Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
N/A NCT07535853 Kind: NA Apr 17, 2026
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of low-power laser therapy on pain intensity and functional outcomes in patients diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS). Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the active laser therapy combined with a physical therapy program or a control group. The study aims to determine if adding laser therapy provides better relief and improves daily physical functions compared to conventional treatment alone.
