Abstract：
The purpose of the study was to investigate pulmonary functions of patients with chronic neck pain and compare them with those of asymptomatic controls.
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.
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.
These results demonstrated that dynamic lung volumes were lower in patients with chronic neck pain compared with asymptomatic controls.

摘要：
研究的目的是调查慢性颈痛患者的肺功能，并将其与无症状对照组进行比较。
这项病例对照研究是对25例慢性颈痛患者（年龄，26.84±7.89岁）和27个年龄匹配的无症状对照（年龄，25.96±7.13年）。使用肺活量测定法(QuarkPFT，COSMED,罗马,意大利）。强迫肺活量（FVC），第一秒用力呼气量(FEV1),25％至75％的肺活量强制呼气流量，呼气流量峰值,最大自愿通风,并测量FEV1/FVC比值，并表示为慢性颈痛患者和无症状对照组的(%)预测值。
慢性颈痛组有较低的FEV1（P=0.015），FVC（P=.029），25％至75％肺活量的用力呼气流量（P=.040），与无症状对照相比，最大自愿通气(P=0.042)；然而，两组的FEV1/FVC（P=.470）和最大呼气流量（P=.183）相似。
这些结果表明，与无症状对照组相比，慢性颈痛患者的动态肺容量较低。
