Efficacy of Dry Needling in Cervical Pain

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The presence of latent myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in the angular muscle of the scapula is one of the possible causes of non-specific neck pain. Dry needling (DN) and ischaemic compression (IC) techniques may be useful for the treatment of these MTrPs. Methods: 80 participants were divided into two groups: the dry needling group, which received a single session of DN on the angular muscle plus hyperalgesia (n=40), and the IC group, which received a single session of IC on the angular muscle plus hyperalgesia (n=40). Pain intensity, pain pressure threshold (PPT), range of motion (ROM) and quality of life were assessed at baseline, immediately after, 48 hours and one week after treatment.
