Pulmonary Functions in Patients With Chronic Neck Pain: A Case-Control Study
(Mosby-Elsevier, 2022) Dag, Figen; Tas, Serkan; Cimen, Ozlem Bolgen
Objective: The purpose of the study was to investigate pulmonary functions of patients with chronic neck pain and compare them with those of asymptomatic controls.Methods: This case-control study was conducted with 25 patients with chronic neck pain (age, 26.84 +/- 7.89 years) and 27 age-matched asymptomatic controls (age, 25.96 +/- 7.13 years). Pulmonary function tests were performed using spirometry (Quark PFT, COSMED, Rome, Italy). Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced expiratory flow at 25% to 75% vital capacity, peak expiratory flow, maximum voluntary ventilation, and the FEV1/FVC ratio were measured and are expressed as (%) predicted value for patients with chronic neck pain and asymptomatic controls. Results: The chronic neck pain group had lower FEV1 (P = .015), FVC (P = .029), forced expiratory flow at 25% to 75% vital capacity (P = .040), and maximum voluntary ventilation (P = .042) compared with asymptomatic controls; however, FEV1/FVC (P = .470) and peak expiratory flow (P = .183) were similar in both groups.Conclusion: These results demonstrated that dynamic lung volumes were lower in patients with chronic neck pain compared with asymptomatic controls.
