Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial tests whether a single application of Kinesio Taping can quickly reduce symptoms and improve grip strength and hand dexterity in adults with thoracic outlet syndrome, a condition where nerves or blood vessels are compressed in the shoulder area. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either therapeutic Kinesio Taping or a sham (non-therapeutic) tape, and their symptoms, grip strength, and hand dexterity are measured before and immediately after the application. The goal is to see if the tape's effects are real or just a placebo response.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Kinesio Taping (therapeutic tape application)
What this could lead to
If effective, Kinesio Taping could offer a non-invasive, drug-free option to quickly reduce symptoms and improve hand function in people with thoracic outlet syndrome.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial measuring only immediate effects. The benefit may be due to a placebo effect, and results may not last or apply to all patients.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Clinical diagnosis of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) confirmed by a thoracic surgeon. * Presence of symptoms consistent with TOS. * Ability to understand the study procedures and provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * History of fracture or surgery involving the cervical spine, shoulder, elbow, wrist, or hand that could affect upper-extremity function. * Neurological disorders affecting upper-extremity function (e.g., stroke, multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathy unrelated to TOS). * Other upper-extremity musculoskeletal disorders that may influence grip strength or hand dexterity (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger, thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis). * Skin lesions, allergy to adhesive tape, or any dermatological condition preventing tape application. * Pregnancy. * Inability to perform the assessment procedures.
