NCT03273985 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Last updated 2017-12-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To date, there are not studies about the effectiveness of dry needling versus ischemic compression in the triceps surae trigger points. A randomized clinical trial is carried out. A sample of 30 subjects are recruited and allocated into dry needling (n = 15) and ischemic compression (n = 15). Outcome measurements such as dorsal flexion range of motion, plantar pressures, temperature, superficial muscle activity and trigger points pressure pain threshold are measured immediately before and after treatment.
