Breathing muscle function in chronic neck pain
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares breathing muscle function between people with chronic neck pain and healthy individuals. It aims to see if neck pain affects breathing muscles, which might lead to new treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two types of exercises—breathing exercises and deep neck muscle training—to see which works better for people with long-term neck pain. You'll do one type of exercise program to help relieve your pain and improve function.
This trial tests whether combining diaphragmatic breathing exercises with electroacupuncture can reduce chronic neck pain. It is designed for people with moderate pain and specific breathing issues.
This study looks at how oxygen levels in the neck muscles relate to neck function and pain. It aims to find better ways to assess and treat chronic neck pain.
This study tests whether adding a gentle hands-on technique that relaxes the diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) to neck exercises can reduce chronic neck pain. It aims to see if this combined approach works better than exercise alone for people like you.
This trial compares two different treatments for long-lasting neck pain: a special exercise that helps with neck posture (cervical retraction) and a gentle manual therapy technique (facet oscillatory mobilization). It aims to find which method is better at reducing pain and improving neck movement.
This study compares different exercise programs to see which one improves physical and mental health in people with chronic neck pain. You may be eligible if you have had neck pain for at least 3 months and it is moderate to severe, but you haven't been in a recent neck pain rehab or exercise program.
