Brief Summary

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

The analgesic effects of ultrasound-guided dry-needling therapy will be evaluated in the management of head and neck pain.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The analgesic effects of ultrasound-guided dry-needling therapy will be evaluated in the management of head and neck pain by myofascial active and latent trigger point.

The myofascial pain control will be assessed for the superficial and deep posterolateral muscle complex of neck. The analgesic request, Range Of Motion (ROM), Motion Related Pain (MRP) and the quality of life, will be also assessed.
