NCT04968236 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 90

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In recent years, dry needling techniques have become widespread in the field of musculoskeletal pain treatment. Specifically, the management of myofascial trigger points has been the focus of these techniques.

One of the objectives has been to improve the flexibility of those muscles that, due to the presence of myofascial trigger points, had a decrease in this parameter.

This study aims to determine whether the application of a dry needling technique is more effective than analytical stretching of the muscle.

Conditions

  • Dry Needling
  • Stretch
  • Rectus Femoris Muscle

Interventions

OTHER

Deep Dry Needling

In-and-out into different directions technique to encounter sensitive spots in an MTrP region.

OTHER

Superficial Dry Needling

This technique involves inserting a needle at a depth that is into the subcutaneous tissue and may be combined with manipulation of the needle while in situ.
