No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether application of Dry Needling (DN) is effective for reduced on Stiffness in Latent trigger point (LTrP) of upper trapezius. The secondary purposes are to determine the correlation on two elastography for stiffness measure (Shear-wave elastography and Strain elastography). Randomized controlled trial, in parallel with cross-control design. Two groups with LTrP in upper trapezius, and will be randomly selected to DN group or Sham-Dn group.

DEVICE

Intervention-Dry Needling

Deep Dry Needling into the site of the latent Trigger Point of the upper trapezius muscle. 1 session in upper trapezius muscle moving the needle up and down ten times.

DEVICE

Control-Dry Needling

Sham Dry Needling into the site of the latent Trigger Point of the upper trapezius muscle with non-penetrating needles 1 session in upper trapezius muscle moving the needle up and down ten times.
