Dry needling (DN) is a treatment technique used for treating musculoskeletal pain conditions. DN has shown to be effective on pain and function in patients with mechanical neck pain. Potential effects of DN can be related to several mechanisms, including physical, cognitive and emotional factors. This study will evaluate the role of the patient expectances related to the evolution (progress) of the condition, in this case, mechanical neck pain, in the effects of real or sham dry needling in sensitivity outcomes such as pain intensity or pressure pain sensitivity. Expectation of each patient in both groups will be considered positive, neutral or negative based on the outcomes of the Patient Shoulder Expectancies (PSOE) questionnaire which was adapted to the cervical spine.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Changes in Neck Pain Intensity between baseline and follow-up periods | The intensity of neck pain at rest and during active movement of the cervical spine in rotation will be assessed with a visual analogue scale (VAS). | Baseline, immediately after and 1 week after intervention | |
Secondary | Changes in Pressure pain sensitivity between baseline and follow-up periods | Pressure pain thresholds (PPT) will be assessed at the upper trapezius muscle, spinous process of C7 and distant pain-free area of the lower extremity (heel) | Baseline, immediately after and 1 week after intervention | |
Secondary | Changes in patients self-perceived improvement between baseline and follow-up periods | Patients self-perceived improvement will be assessed using a Global Rating of Change (GROC) consisting of a 15-point scale ranging from -7 (a very great deal worse) to +7 (a very great deal better). | Baseline and 1 week after intervention |
