Purpose: Patients with chronic neck pain have been to have a decrease in respiratory parameters. But the impact of different types of breathing on the parameters associated with breathing has not been thoroughly studied. The aim of this study was to study the effect of different respiratory types on respiratory parameters in patients with chronic neck pain. Method: 52 patients diagnosed with chronic neck pain (age = 31.66±10.96 years) were taken to the study with the method of cutting research. The respiratory type of upper-costal type (n=30) and the costa-diyarragmatic type (n=22) were divided into the upper chest respiratory group (UGSG) and the diyarragmatic respiratory group (DSG). The level of pain in individuals, the visual analog scale and the level of apology were assessed by the neck apology survey. Respiratory functions (FVC: challenging vital capacity, FEV1: challenging expiration volume in the first second, FEV1/FVC ratio, PEF: peak flow speed, FEF%25-75: challenging expiratory volume value of 25-75%, VC: vital capacity and MVV: maximum desired ventilation) were assessed by the spirometer, inspired and expiratory respiratory muscle strength (MIP and MEP) with the mouth pressure measurement device and the respiratory muscle resistance using the IMT device on a fixed edge load. Results: Dynamic lung volumes and VC values were found similar between groups (p>0,05). MVV (p=0,026), MIP (p=0,041) and respiratory muscle endurance (p=0,044) were significantly lower in UGSG compared to DSG. In patients with chronic neck pain, the upper kostal type of breathing, the costal-diyarragmatic type of breathing causes a decrease in MVV, MIP and respiratory endurance values. In patients with chronic neck pain, neuromotor control exercises to the neck area and exercises to regulate the respiratory type or the effects of strategies on respiratory parameters should be studied.
