Study type | Interventional |
There is preliminary evidence suggesting that referred pain from active trigger points can play a relevant role in individuals with mechanical neck pain. Some studies have investigated the effectiveness of dry needling over the upper trapezius muscle in this population. However, other muscles, such as the scalene muscles, can be also relevant for neck pain symptoms. No study has investigated the effects of the application of dry needling over active trigger points in the scalenes muscles in a sample of patients with mechanical neck pain.

Primary | Changes in neck pain intensity with a numerical pain rate scale before and after the intervention | A Numerical Pain Rate Scale (NPRS, 0-10) will be used to assess spontaneous neck pain intensity | Baseline, one day (immediately post), 7 days (one week) and 30 days (one month) after the intervention | |
Secondary | Changes in oxigen saturation with a pulse oximeter before and after the intervention | Oxygen saturation will be monitored with a handheld pulse oximeter with Masimo SET® measure-through Motion and Low Perfusion™ pulse oximeter | Baseline, one day (immediately post), 7 days (one week) and 30 days (one month) after the intervention | |
Secondary | Changes in inspiratory vital capacity with an incentive spirometer before and after the intervention | Changes in inspiratory vital capacity will be assessed with the incentive spirometer DHD Coach 2® | Baseline, one day (immediately post), 7 days (one week) and 30 days (one month) after the intervention | |
Secondary | Changes in neck-related disability with the Neck Disability Index before and after the intervention | The Neck Disability Index (NDI, 0-50), a specific neck pain related disability questionaire, will be used for assessing neck pain related-disability | Baseline and 7 days (one week) and 30 days (one month) after the intervention |
