Study Groups

Dry needling: 4 local twitch responses
Deep dry needling in the active myofascial trigger point in the upper trapezius muscle. The muscle fibers were repeatedly perforated by rapidly inserting and partially withdrawing the needle from the MTrP until 4 local twitch responses were elicited.
Dry needling
Dry needling: 6 local twitch responses
Deep dry needling in the active myofascial trigger point in the upper trapezius muscle. The muscle fibers were repeatedly perforated by rapidly inserting and partially withdrawing the needle from the MTrP until 6 local twitch responses were elicited.
Dry needling
Dry needling: Until no more local twitch responses elicited
Deep dry needling in the active myofascial trigger point in the upper trapezius muscle. The muscle fibers were repeatedly perforated by rapidly inserting and partially withdrawing the needle from the MTrP until no more local twitch responses were elicited.
Dry needling
Control
The needle was inserted 1.5 cm away from the trigger point in the trapezius muscle and withdrawn without any consecutive insertion.
