NCT ID: NCT06358326 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Dry Needling and Rehabilitatin Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Start date: April 5, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Dry needling is used for myofascial release. However, its effectiveness in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is not well known. It is thought that dry needling may also be an effective treatment for CTS by providing relaxation in the fascial tissue. Therefore, this study will examine the effects of dry needling treatment on pain, function, range of motion, proprioception and disability in patients with CTS.

Randomized Single-Blind Clinical Trial in which the treatment will be administered through 3 sessions of dry needling in the cervical, cranial, and facial musculature in patients with frequent and chronic tension-type headache.

NCT ID: NCT06033430 Recruiting - Hypertrophic Scar Clinical Trials

Effectiveness of Dry Needling in Linear Scar Tissue

Start date: October 10, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Scar tissue can cause serious complications that significantly impact a patient's quality of life. Common complications include stiffness and contractions, which can restrict joint mobility and make daily activities challenging. In severe cases, these limitations can even prevent patients from fulfilling their work responsibilities or engaging in activities they enjoy. The deleterious effect of scar tissue on a patient's well-being is of utmost significance. However, several therapeutic approaches have been proposed to manage scar tissue complications. Enhancing scar tissue compliance can help patients regain their functional abilities and reduce limitations. One such approach is dry needling, a technique used to improve the flexibility of myofascial tightness. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of dry needling in improving scar tissue compliance remains debatable. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects of dry needling on complications resulting from linear hypertrophic scars caused by surgery or trauma.

NCT ID: NCT05995639 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Dry Needling Versus Ozone in Myofascial Pain Syndrome

Start date: September 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of dry needling treatment (DN) and ozone treatment on pain and functionality in individuals with myofascial pain syndrome affecting the upper trapezius (UT) region.

NCT ID: NCT05962515 Completed - Ultrasonography Clinical Trials

Efficacy of Ultrasound-Guided Dry Needling Therapy and Exercise in Piriformis Muscle Syndrome

Start date: January 20, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Piriformis muscle syndrome (PMS) is a neuromuscular disorder that can cause symptoms of hip joint motion limitation, buttock pain and tenderness, and numbness radiating to the back of the thigh due to compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve.In the etiology of PMS myofascial trigger points are the most common cause and also hypertrophy in the piriformis muscle tissue, inflammation, trauma, anatomical variations of the piriformis muscle or sciatic nerve may also cause the development of PMS . Physical examination supports the diagnosis of PMS and may help to eliminating competing diagnoses. Multiple physical examination maneuvers have been identified to help diagnose but no physical examination maneuver is diagnostic for PMS. Compression and deep palpation may also exacerbate buttock or gluteal pain. Electrodiagnostic tests are usually normal in FMS and useful in excluding other conditions such as lumbosacral radiculopathy .There is no gold standard treatment option for PMS, conservative treatment and lifestyle changes remain the mainstays for the treatment. Piriformis muscle stretching is the form of an exercise technique in physiotherapy method that is generally used for those patients. The exercises focused on relaxing the priformis muscle to increase the resting length of the muscle and reduce the potential sciatic nerve compression because of this thigtness. Dry needling (DN) therapy is a treatment method where myofascial trigger points are stimulated using acupuncture needles or injection needles .DN can be applied according to the anatomical landmark method or under the guidance of ultrasound (US) and fluoroscopic imaging. US guidance is important in the management of PMS, which allows imaging of specific deep muscle groups and avoids complications such as procedural pain and damage of neurovascular structures . There are no randomized controlled studies other than case series on the use and frequency of application of the US-guided DN technique in PMS. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of dry needling treatment applied to the piriformis muscle once a week for a total of 3 times under US guidance and 3-week exercise program treatment in PMS. The secondary outcomes of this study is to evaluate and compare the effect of these treatment modalities on Visuel Analg Scale (VAS) scores ,Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), lower extremity functional scale (LEFS) and (Douleur Neuropathique 4 Questionare ) DN4 scores in PMS patients at 3 months follow up.

NCT ID: NCT05882825 Not yet recruiting - Dry Needling Clinical Trials

The Level of Knowledge and Awareness of Dry Needling Treatment in the Turkish Population

Start date: August 1, 2023

The study will employ a cross-sectional design to assess the level of knowledge and awareness of dry needling therapy in the Turkish population.

NCT ID: NCT05744778 Completed - Physical Therapy Clinical Trials

The Effect of Dry Needling Treatment Combined With Physical Therapy in Patients With Cervical Spondylosis

Start date: February 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

In this study, it was aimed to determine whether dry needling treatment applied to the trigger points in the trapezius muscle in patients with chronic neck pain due to cervical spondylosis makes an additional contribution to the treatment results of the physical therapy and rehabilitation program.

NCT ID: NCT05596240 Active, not recruiting - Shoulder Pain Clinical Trials

Dry Needling and Shoulder Muscle Blood Flow, Motions, and Pain Sensitivity in Individuals With Shoulder Pain

Start date: October 22, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Shoulder pain is one of the most common reasons people consult with their primary health care provider, and 40-50% of these patients with shoulder pain continued to complain of persistent symptoms after 6 to 12 months. It has been suggested that the presence of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) may contribute to the chronicity of shoulder symptoms. An MTrP is a hyperirritable taut band of tissue within a muscle that produces pain when stimulated MTrPs are common in patients with shoulder disorders and occur most often in the infraspinatus muscle of a painful shoulder MTrPs were associated with an acidic biochemical environment with elevated levels of inflammatory mediators, neuropeptides, and proinflammatory cytokines such as bradykinin and calcitonin g-related peptide. It was hypothesized that metabolic demands on muscle and capillary constrictions may contribute to the development of MTrPs. To date, only a few studies have examined the vascular environment of MTrPs and surrounding areas before and after dry needling. No studies have yet examined whether dry needling would change blood flow in patients with shoulder pathology. Therefore, the purpose of this pilot study is to examine the effect of dry needling on blood flow of the infraspinatus muscle using color Doppler imaging in individuals with shoulder pain. The secondary purpose is to examine the effect of DN on shoulder motion and sensitivity to pressure in individuals with shoulder pain.

NCT ID: NCT05560100 Completed - Dry Needling Clinical Trials

Development of an Informed Consent Statement Which Communicates the Risk of Adverse Events Associated With Dry Needling

DNICNGT
Start date: September 19, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

As Dry Needling (DN) continues to see increased use in the clinic, there is a need to establish adverse events that could occur as a result of DN intervention. The adverse events are important to consider when an individual needs to make an informed decision regarding their care. It is important to consider how such information should be presented during the informed consent process to improve an individual's ability to make a sound decision regarding their own personal care.
