Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Pain after dry needling or injection in the muscle is a frequent secondary effect in the treatment of myofascial pain syndrome. In this trial pain and sensitivity will be assessed during a 72 hours follow up period. Factors that may contribute to higher levels of pain or sensitivity will be evaluated.
