Brief summary (from the registry)
This research focuses on adding diaphragmatic breathing to conventional physiotherapy sessions, particularly for patients suffering from chronic neck pain aged between 20-40 years in Jordan. Chronic neck pain is recognized as one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal pain disorders, significantly impacting physical, social, and psychological aspects of life. This issue leads to a decline in functional performance and work productivity, negatively affecting both individual and societal levels. Several factors, such as poor posture and prolonged use of smartphones, contribute to the exacerbation of non-specific chronic neck pain. These problems also affect respiratory muscles, particularly the diaphragm responsible for primary respiration, resulting in a shift from abdominal to chest breathing. This alteration increases the use of neck muscles, subsequently intensifying neck pain and negatively impacting sleep quality in these individuals. The primary objective of this therapeutic study is to investigate the role of adding diaphragmatic breathing to physiotherapy sessions in alleviating pain and improving sleep quality. RCT study will investigate the effect of adding the diaphragmatic breathing to conventional physiotherapy treatment on pain and sleep quality over one month.
