简要总结
This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the immediate effects of Myofascial Stretch Dry Needling (MSDN) and Vibrating Fitness Roller (VFR) on hamstring muscle tightness among university students aged 18–25 years. A total of 75 participants with clinically confirmed hamstring tightness will be randomly divided into three groups: Group 1 received MSDN with conventional physiotherapy, Group 2 received VFR with conventional physiotherapy, and Group 3 received only conventional physiotherapy. Each intervention lasted 10–15 minutes, and outcomes were assessed before and after treatment using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT), and Sit and Reach Test to evaluate pain and flexibility. The study seeks to determine which intervention provides greater immediate improvement in hamstring flexibility and pain reduction.
