Summary

Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Dry Needling (DN) on electromyographic activity in different situations at the latent trigger point (LTrP) point of the upper trapezius. Randomized controlled trial, in parallel with the crossover control design. Two groups with LTrP in the upper trapezius, and the DN group or the Sham-Dn group will be randomly selected.

Conditions

  • Trigger Point Pain, Myofascial

Interventions

DEVICE

Intervention-Dry Needling

Deep Dry Needling into the site of the latent TriggerPoint 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
