A non-randomized experimental study will be conducted to investigate the effect of Ecoguided Percutaneous Neuromodulation on patients with and without neck pain in college students. The sample will be collected in a non-probabilistic way at convenience among the students at the San Pablo-CEU University, with a sample that will be divided into two groups: group 1 (G1) with neck pain and group 2 (G2).

| Sonoelastography | This diagnostic test would be executed by a Physiotherapist who has experiences of using General Electric, P9 model ultrasound system for more than three year. The equipment to obtain the image will be used with a frequency of 12 MHz, 22 dB gain, 85 dynamic range, brightness at 17 and depth of 4 cm. The transducer will be placed on the spinosa of C4 and the probe will be moved towards the transverse of each of the sides, to identify the image of the multifidus muscle in depth. Once the muscle is located in this segment, a longitudinal and transverse image of the muscle will be obtained, performing the elastography at the same time and calculating the elastographic values (tissue resistance in kilopascals and transmission speed in meters/second). | Baseline |
