Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The high-intensity and low-intensity percutaneous electrolysis may induce pressure pain threshold (PPT) changes in myofascial trigger points in the low back during the intervention compared with dry needling.
Percutaneous electrolysis interventions may reduce stiffness in the multifidus muscle during the intervention compared with dry needling.
