简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine whether application of Dry Needling (DN) is effective for reduced on Stiffness in Latent trigger point (LTrP) of upper trapezius. The secondary purposes are to determine the correlation on two elastography for stiffness measure (Shear-wave elastography and Strain elastography). Randomized controlled trial, in parallel with cross-control design. Two groups with LTrP in upper trapezius, and will be randomly selected to DN group or Sham-Dn group.

结局指标
主要结局
Change on Stiffness (Shear wave elastography and Strain Elastography)
时间窗: Baseline, at 30 minutes after treatment, at 24 hours after treatment, at 72 hours after treatment
Shear-wave Elastography (SWE) as assessed using an Logiq S8 US system (GE Healthcare). The stiffness was determined with measuring velocity of shear waves in trapezius muscle on SWE exam. Strain elastography (SEL) as assessed using an Logiq S8 US system (GE Healthcare). The stiffness was determined by applying light repetitive compression with the hand-held transducer
次要结局
- Change in Thickness of muscle(Baseline, at 30 minutes after treatment, at 24 hours after treatment, at 72 hours after treatment)
- Change in Post-needling soreness(Baseline, at 30 minutes after treatment, at 24 hours after treatment, at 72 hours after treatment)
- Change in Pain Pressure Threshold (PPT)(Baseline, at 30 minutes after treatment, at 24 hours after treatment, at 72 hours after treatment)
