    Let \(\tau\) be a constant; \(\gamma, c\) be continuous periodic functions with period \(T>0;\) \(c\in C^2 (\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})\) with \(|c(t)|\neq 1\) and \(c(t+T)=c(t).\) This paper deals with the investigation of a second-order neutral equation with variable parameter of the following form: \[ [x(t)-c(t)x(t-\tau)]''+f(x(t))x'(t)+g(x(t-\gamma(t)))=e(t), \] where \(f,g\in C(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R}).\) Using Mawhin's continuation theorem, the authors establish the existence of periodic solutions to this equation.
