Clinical Trial Summary

Dry needling is typically used to treat muscles, ligaments, tendons, subcutaneous fascia, scar tissue, peripheral nerves, and neurovascular bundles for the management of a variety of neuromusculoskeletal pain syndromes.However, there are contradictory research articles about the optimal duration of dry needling per session.


Clinical Trial Description

Dry needling is 'an invasive technique used by physical therapists to treat myofascial pain that uses a dry needle, without medication or injection, which is inserted into areas of the muscle known as trigger point defines dry needling as including both muscular and connective tissues, but not neural stimulation. The paper reads, 'dry needling is a skilled intervention that uses a thin filiform needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular, and connective tissues for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments. The dry needling is reported to improve the level of pain, muscle strength, and flexibility. However, the optimal duration of dry needling to improve muscle strength is still Unknown. ;
