Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

The study aims to explore how Ecoguided Percutaneous Neuromodulation can help with neck pain in university students. Neck pain is a common issue, especially among students who spend a lot of time studying or using computers. This study focuses on students from San Pablo-CEU University, divided into two groups: those with neck pain and those without. This research is important because it seeks to find new ways to alleviate neck pain, which can significantly affect daily activities and quality of life. Participants in the study will undergo a procedure called Ecoguided Percutaneous Neuromodulation, which involves using a needle to stimulate nerves through the skin with the help of ultrasound guidance. The study will monitor any changes in neck pain levels in those who receive the treatment. The results will help understand if this method is effective in reducing neck pain and improving comfort and function for students suffering from this condition.
