Accessory Inspiratory Muscles in Chronic Neck Pain

간략 요약

This cross-sectional case-control study aims to investigate the ultrasonographic structural and functional characteristics of accessory inspiratory muscles in individuals with chronic non-specific neck pain and compare them with healthy controls. In addition, the relationships between accessory inspiratory muscle characteristics, diaphragm function, respiratory muscle strength, and pulmonary function parameters will be examined. The findings may improve understanding of the respiratory involvement associated with chronic neck pain and contribute to more comprehensive assessment strategies.
