简要总结
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.

结局指标
主要结局
Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT)
时间窗: Baseline and 2 months post-treatment.
The minimum pressure at which a stimulus is perceived as painful, measured using a digital pressure algometer at specific trigger points. The device measures the pressure in kilograms per square centimeter (kg/cm²).
