Abstract

Aim. The purpose of this study was to compare diaphragmatic doming with breathing exercises on ventilatory parameters and deep cervical flexor (DCF) endurance in patients with chronic neck pain (CNP). Materials and Methods. Sixty participants with CNP were randomly assigned to two groups: group A received breathing exercises combined with traditional physiotherapy, and group B received diaphragmatic doming combined with traditional physiotherapy. Pre- and post-treatment assessments included ventilatory function and DCF endurance. Results. Both groups showed significant improvements in ventilatory function, with no significant difference between them. However, DCF endurance improved significantly more in group B (p < 0.05). Conclusion. Diaphragmatic doming was more effective than breathing exercises in improving DCF endurance, while both interventions were equally effective in improving ventilatory function.
