Brief Summary

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

Dry needling is typically used to treat muscles, ligaments, tendons, subcutaneous fascia, scar tissue, peripheral nerves, and neurovascular bundles for the management of a variety of neuromusculoskeletal pain syndromes.However, there are contradictory research articles about the optimal duration of dry needling per session.

Detailed Description

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

Dry needling is 'an invasive technique used by physical therapists to treat myofascial pain that uses a dry needle, without medication or injection, which is inserted into areas of the muscle known as trigger point defines dry needling as including both muscular and connective tissues, but not neural stimulation. The paper reads, 'dry needling is a skilled intervention that uses a thin filiform needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular, and connective tissues for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments.

The dry needling is reported to improve the level of pain, muscle strength, and flexibility. However, the optimal duration of dry needling to improve muscle strength is still Unknown.

Dry needling

During dry needling, a practitioner inserts several filiform needles into your skin. Filiform needles are fine, short, stainless steel needles that don't inject fluid into the body.

Intervention Type DEVICE

the dry needle inserted to area of pain

kinesio taping

The Kinesio Taping Method is a therapeutic taping technique which alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. This lifting affect forms convolutions in the skin increasing interstitial space and allowing for decreased inflammation in affected areas. Based upon research and years of clinical use, The Kinesio Taping Method specifically applies Kinesio tape based on evaluation and assessment to dictate a specific application.
