View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if motivational interviewing (MI) works to improve symptoms in people with thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). TOS is a condition that causes long-term pain, numbness, and weakness in the arm and shoulder area. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does MI lower pain and improve arm function in people with TOS? * Does psychological resilience predict treatment outcomes in people with TOS? Researchers will compare participants who receive MI sessions plus a home exercise program to those who receive a home exercise program alone. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. Participants will: * Follow a home exercise program for 6 weeks * Some participants will also attend up to 4 motivational interviewing sessions * Complete questionnaires about pain, function, sleep, anxiety, and depression at the start and end of the 6-week program
