Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Dry Needling	Dry needling	Dry Needling 1 session
Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation	Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation	Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation 1 session

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change of Visual analog scale	Change from baseline Visual analog scale at immediately after intervention, Change from Baseline visual analog scale at 1 week and Change from baseline Visual analog scale at 4 weeks	Pain measurement Score from 0-10, 0 means no pain and 10 means maximum pain. Higher scores mean worse outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Neck disability index	Change from baseline Neck disability index at immediately after intervention, Change from Baseline Neck disability index at 1 week and Change from baseline Neck disability index at 4 weeks	Disability secondary to neck pain Score from 0-50, 0 means no disability and 50 means complete disability. Higher scores mean worse outcome.
