Abstract: (167 Views)
Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is a well-known compressive neurovasculopathy with various anatomical etiologies. Neurogenic TOS (nTOS) is the most common type of this syndrome, accounting for over 95% of all cases. Conservative treatment plays a significant role in the management of nTOS. However, there are many controversies regarding this theme. Therefore, the optimal treatment method remains unclear. Herein, a narrative review was conducted to gather recent data on the available conservative treatment methods for the management of nTOS.
