Dry Needling for Treating Spasticity in Multiple Sclerosis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of dry needling (DN) in the treatment of spasticity in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). [Participants and Methods] participants with MS, with no evidence of a relapse in the last four weeks and with an EDSS (Expanded Disability Sta- tus Scale) greater than 2.5 points (related with pyramidal score) were recruited. DN was performed in lower limbs for 12 consecutive sessions and evaluated with: EDSS (Pyramidal item), Time up and go (TUG), 25 foot, 9hold peg test (9HPT) and the improvement or not in the quality of life (MSQol54) was verified before and after treatment. A follow up visit was carried out to assess improvement.
