Summary

This study looked at how thoracic outlet syndrome—a condition that can cause nerve, artery, or vein problems in the shoulder and neck area—affects people's ability to work. Researchers used a questionnaire to check work performance in 101 employed or previously employed adults who had at least 80% artery narrowing during arm movement. The goal was to understand how often work problems, job loss, or income loss happen due to this condition.
