Effect Of Breathing Retraining On Pain And Diaphragmatic Excursion Using Ultrasound Measurements In Chronic Non-Specific Neck Pain Individuals With Breathing Pattern Dysfunction.

chronic non-specific neck pain is unspecified neck pain without particular underlying condition and pain intensity will last for more than three months. Patients with chronic neck pain found to have altered respiratory pattern because of overactivation of neck and thoracic muscle, restricted cervico-thoracic mobility and postural imbalances which results in changes the biomechanics of the breathing often leading to dysfunction of the diaphragm which ultimately causes breathing pattern dysfunction. traditional conventional therapy for neck pain have showed a significant results pain and disability, for effective management combining the  breathing retraining with conventional therapy will have beneficial outcome. breathing retraining focus on altering the dysfunctional pattern and activating the respiratory muscle in resting position and functional movements can help reducing the pain and restore the normal respiratory biomechanics. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of Breathing retraining on pain and diaphragmatic excursion using ultrasound measurements in Chronic non-specific neck pain individuals with breathing patten dysfunction.
