Chronic neck pain (CNP) is a very prevalent condition affecting 10–24 % of the population. There is great interest regarding the role of musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSU) in the diagnosis of myofascial pain. MSU isa readily available, portable, and inexpensive imaging modality, suitable for use in a physiotherapists office to complement physical examination and to evaluate treatment outcomes.
The aim of this study was to quantify the thickness of the deep fasciae of the neck and their sub-layers, by means of ultrasound imaging with and without CNP. This will help to document MSU as a suitable instrument for diagnosing myofascial neck pain.
