Brief Summary

Breathing pattern disorders can cause mechanical, physiological, and psychological issues in the body, contributing to the initiation and chronicity of pain. Therefore, considering breathing patterns is significant in managing chronic pain, yet direct research on central sensitization and breathing pattern disorders remains scant. This study aims to analyze the correlation between central sensitization and breathing pattern disorders in adults by assessing both respiration and pain.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Respiratory function

  This study utilized the Self Evaluation of Breathing Questionnaire (SEBQ) to assess respiratory function. The SEBQ is a self-administered questionnaire designed to measure symptoms and severity associated with respiratory dysfunction. It consists of 25 items, each rated on a 4-point scale (0 = not at all, to 3 = very much so), with a total possible score ranging from 0 to 75. While there is no definitive cutoff score for the SEBQ, experts consider a total score above 25 to indicate a problem with respiratory function. The SEBQ has a test-retest reliability (ICC) of 0.89 and internal consistency (Cronbach's α) of 0.93.

  During the assessment period

Study Arms (1)

central sensitization

Individuals who scored above 40 on the Central Sensitization Inventory for Koreans (CSI-K) assessment.
