Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
One month after the treatment sonographic images are taken by the novice clinician and by an expert one. The aim is to assess the reliability of ultrasonography comparing the results of their assessments.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
dry needling group
Dry needling treatment on right or left side of the face (depending on randomization)
dry needling
The use of filiform needles to stimulate muscles and connective tissues. The needle is inserted in a direction perpendicular to the skin, a local twitch response is looked for and, once found, the needle is kept in the muscle without moving for 10 seconds. No substances are injected.
control group
No treatment on left or right side of the face (depending on randomization)
No interventions assigned to this group
