Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Theragun Technique
Theragun is a handheld percussive therapy device that can be used for massage and muscle relaxation. Use the Theragun for a designated duration per session, such as 5-10 minutes for 6 weeks
Theragun Technique
Use the Theragun for a designated duration per session, such as 5-10 minutes for one session per week for 6 weeks
Dry Needling Technique
Dry needling is a technique in which a fine needle is used to penetrate the skin, subcutaneous tissues, and muscle without the use of an anesthetic. Hold each stretch for an adequate duration (typically 15-30 seconds) to allow for muscle relaxation
Dry Needling Technique
Dry needle deep (20 mm) TrP acupuncture of myofascial duration per session, such as 5-10 minutes for one session per week for 6 weeks
