Summary

Invasive physiotherapy techniques, such as Intratissue Percutaneous Electroly-sis (IPE), have numerous beneficial effects depending on the pathology being treated, in-cluding the deactivation of myofascial trigger points (MTP) caused by myofascial pain syndrome (MPS).

The objectives are (1) evaluate the effectiveness of low intesity IPE treatment com-pared to DN on the shortening of FHB in patients with MPS, in 4 and 12 weeks evaluation, (2) assess the distribution of plantar pressures after the interventions and (3) evaluate the modification of FHB activation following the interventions.
