简要总结
This study investigates the effect of two different techniques (deep dry needling and superficial dry needling) on the latent myofascial trigger point in the upper trapezius. Subjects with latent Myofascial trigger point in this location of the muscle will be identified and will be randomly assigned to one out of the three groups: deep dry needling, superficial dry needling or sham dry needling in gastrocnemius muscle. cervical range of motion and pain pressure threshold in the upper trapezius will be registered before, immediately after the intervention, at 24 hours after the intervention, at 72 hours after the intervention and a week after the intervention

研究组 & 干预措施
Deep dry needling
Deep dry needling will be applied in the upper trapezius myofascial trigger point
干预措施: Experimental: Deep dry needling (Procedure)
Superficial dry needling
Superficial dry needling will be applied in the upper trapezius myofascial trigger point
干预措施: Experimental: Superficial dry needling (Procedure)
Placebo Gastrocnemius dry needling
A technique simulating dry needling will be applied in the gastrocnemius myofascial trigger point with a needle guard guide tube, without any therapeutic manoeuvre will be applied.
干预措施: Placebo Comparator: Placebo Gastrocnemius dry needling (Procedure)
