About

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of additional functional inspiratory muscle training in individuals with non-specific chronic neck pain.

Full description

Patients participating in the study will be divided two parallel groups. The patients in study group will instruct to perform both functional inspiratory muscle training and conventional treatments for neck pain, the patients in the control group will instruct to perform just conventional treatments. The severity of the pain, disability, fear of movement and depression levels will be assessed by visual analog scale, neck disability index, Tampa Scale of kinesiophobia and beck depression inventory, respectively. Neck postures (craniovertebral angle) will be evaluated by photogrammetric method.Endurance of deep cervical flexor muscles will be measured using Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback Unit with cranio-cervical flexion test. Pain threshold will be measured by algometer from the middle point of upper trapezius. Cervical proprioceptions will be evaluated by laser pointer method in the right and left rotational directions. In addition, diaphragma thickness will be measured by two-dimensional ultrasonography. Assessments were repeated before and after the treatment.

Conventional plus Functional Inspiratory Muscle Training Group
Experimental group
Description:
Conventional program plus functional inspiratory muscle training will be carried out three sessions per week during the six weeks. The content of the program will be the same as for the conventional group. Additional functional inspiratory muscle training will be began with 50% of the maximal inspiratory pressure value in a specific device and it will be progressed 5% every week according to the tolerance.
Treatment:
Other: Conventional plus Functional Inspiratory Muscle Training Group
Conventional Physiotherapy Program
Active Comparator group
Description:
Conventional program will be carried out three sessions per week during the six weeks. Cervical mobilization techniques (glidings-grade 2) of cyriax will be applied in the direction of lateral flexion and rotation. Stretching exercises, craniovertebral flexion exercise and scapulothoracic strengthening exercises will be performed.
Treatment:
Other: Conventional Physiotherapy Program
