Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effects of Dry Needling Using Spinal and Peripheral Sites Versus Peripheral Sites Only Among Individuals With Chronic Lower Extremity Conditions
Verified date | July 2019 |

Contact | n/a |
Is FDA regulated | No |
Health authority | |
Study type | Interventional |
The purpose of this study is to determine if dry needling both low back and extremity areas is more effective for reducing pain and improving strength, balance and functional performance among patients with chronic musculoskeletal conditions compared to dry needling of extremity areas only.

Primary | Change in Pain Level assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) | Pain level will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The pain VAS is a self-reported, single-item scale that ranks pain level from no pain to worst imaginable pain on a single scale line. Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the participant's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. | Baseline, Visit 2 (Up to 7 days) | |
Secondary | Change in Muscle Strength of Hip Abductors assessed using a dynamometer | The strength of the hip abductors will be assessed using a dynamometer. The subjects will be asked to exert maximal force against the dynamometer and the reading is recorded. Scores are based on force production in kilograms or pounds; kilograms (0-90), pounds (0-200). Higher pressure scores indicate better muscle strength of the hip abductor muscles. | Baseline, Visit 2 (Up to 7 days) | |
Secondary | Change in Muscle Strength of Knee Extensors/Flexors assessed using a dynamometer | The strength of the knee extensors/flexors will be assessed using a dynamometer. The subjects will be asked to exert maximal force against the dynamometer and the reading is recorded. Scores are based on force production in kilograms or pounds; kilograms (0-90), pounds (0-200). Higher pressure scores indicate better muscle strength of the knee extensor/flexor muscles. | Baseline, Visit 2 (Up to 7 days) | |
Secondary | Change in Muscle Strength of Ankle Dorsiflexors/Platarflexors assessed using a dynamometer | The strength of the ankle dorsiflexors/platarflexors will be assessed using a dynamometer. The subjects will be asked to exert maximal force against the dynamometer and the reading is recorded. Scores are based on force production in kilograms or pounds; kilograms (0-90), pounds (0-200). Higher pressure scores indicate better muscle strength of the ankle dorsiflexor/platarflexor muscles. | Baseline, Visit 2 (Up to 7 days) | |
Secondary | Change in Unilateral Hop Distance | Participants will perform a single leg hop for distance with each lower extremity. After demonstration, each participant will be allowed 1 trial per leg. Beginning with the toes immediately behind the starting line, participants will perform one hop to complete a trial. The hop will be measured from the starting line to the end of the toes after completion of a trial. Each limb will be tested two times with the maximal distance scored for each limb. Scores will be recorded as absolute distance (in centimeters). An increase in the score (distance covered) from baseline visit to visit 2 indicates better functional performance of the muscles. | Baseline, Visit 2 (Up to 7 days) | |
Secondary | Change in Single-limb Standing Balance Test Time | Participants will attempt to balance themselves within a defined area on a single limb. The maximum amount of time will be calculated both with and without their eyes closed. The opposite leg must be out in front of the participant fully extended and will not be allowed to touch any part of the body. The test will be timed, up to two minutes, on each limb with two trials on either side. | Baseline, Visit 2 (Up to 7 days) |
