Thirty three patients with thoracic outlet syndrome were examined regarding autonomic symptoms and psychiatric symptoms using the Toho-Medical-Index. Seventy eight % of cases had autonomic symptoms, and 34% of cases had psychiatric symptoms. The longer the duration of morbidity, the more these symptoms increased. Therefore duration of morbidity is one of the risk factors. In addition autonomic symptoms and psychiatric symptoms worsen in association with each other.
