Dry Needling, Manual Therapy and Exercise for Neck Pain Management

Neck Pain, Posterior Clinical Trial

Official title:
Efficacy of Adding Dry Needling to a Manual Therapy and Therapeutic Exercise Interventions for Managing Neck Pain Populations: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

Since neck pain is the fourth highest disabling condition (with an estimated point prevalence of 20%, lifetime prevalence up to 70% and high recurrence rates), dry needling targeting myofascial trigger points in neck muscles has been proposed as an effective treatment for reducing pain and disability in patients with chronic neck pain. A recent meta-analysis reported whether dry needling could be recommended for this population. Low to moderate evidence suggests that dry needling can be effective at the short-term, but its effects on pressure pain sensitivity or cervical range of motion are limited.
