简要总结
This study intends to determine the effects of trigger point dry needling in patients with Patellofemoral pain Syndrome.
详细描述
This is a single blinded randomized controlled trial, will be conducted at District Head Quarter (DHQ) hospital Taunsa Sharif.
Dry needling is a technique used to release myofascial trigger points. this study is planned to determine the effects of dry needling on quadriceps muscle in patients with Patellofemoral pain syndrome. The sample size was calculated to be n=92 through Open Epi tool version 3, with 95 % confidence interval (CI), and power 80%,
After the completion of therapeutic protocols, the participants will be assessed with the help of Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Algometer and Anterior Knee Pain scale along with knee Range of Motion(ROM)

研究组 & 干预措施
Dry needling
The experimental group will receive dry needling over trigger points of Quadriceps muscles along with therapeutic exercises.
干预措施: Dry needling (Other)
Control
The control group will only receive standardized therapeutic exercises for Patellofemoral pain syndrome.
干预措施: Control (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Algometer
时间窗: Post 1st week
Pressure threshold is the minimal pressure (force) which induces pain. The digital algometer is a force gauge with a rubber disc of 1 cm2 surface. It will be placed over trigger point in muscle and pressure pain sensitivity would be measured.
Anterior Knee Pain Scale (AKPS)
时间窗: Post 1st week
The Anterior Knee Pain Scale (AKPS) - sometimes called the Kujala Scale is a 13-item knee-specific self-report questionnaire. It documents response to six activities (walking, running, jumping, climbing stairs, squatting, and sitting for prolonged periods with knees bent), as well as symptoms such as limp. The maximum score is 100 that indicate good results, if score is 70 then it is moderate, lower scores like 50 or below 50 indicates severity of the disease.
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
时间窗: Post 1st week
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is used to assess pain. It scores ranges from 0-10, 0 means No pain and 10 means Severe pain. Patient will be asked to verbally report the pain score.
Knee Range of Motion (ROM)
时间窗: Post 1st week
To assess Knee range of motion (ROM), Goniometer will be use to measure knee range of motion in flexion \& extension. Participants will be seated upright and asked to actively move their knee in each direction.
