Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the surface electromyography (EGM) changes between dry needling in the upper trapezius, is a prevalence tonic fiber or lower trapezius is a prevalence phasic fiber.

Conditions

  • Muscle Disorder
  • Trigger Point Pain, Myofascial

Interventions

OTHER

Dry Needling in upper trapezius

The following criteria are required for a patient to have latent TrPs: the presence of a palpable taut band in the upper trapezius muscle, the presence of a hypersensitive spot in the taut band, a palpable or visible local twitch on snapping palpation, and a no familiar reproduction of referred pain elicited by palpation of the sensitive spot. Dry needling is performed with solid filiform needles (0.30x30 mm), these needles are sterile and separately packaged. Needles are not reused and are immediately deposited in a needle container after usage. Patients receive dry needling in latent myofascial trigger point (LTRs) in upper trapezius. The needle is penetrated into the muscle fibers of the taut band and was moved upward and downward ("fast in, fast out") in different directions with the aim to elicit LTRs
