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.
Adults aged 18 and above.
Individuals scoring 40 or above on the Central Sensitization Inventory for Koreans (CSI-K).
Individuals who consent to the use and publication of their personal information and wish to participate in assessment measurements.
Individuals with pulmonary, cardiac, or respiratory diseases.
Individuals with severe hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 100 mmHg.
