简要总结
Dry needling is a new treatment technique, addressed to mechanical pain of the neuromusculoskeletal system. Recent investigations has developed new hypothesis about the etiology of the osteoarthritis and could be in relation to musculoskeletal disorders, but there is no published studies evaluating the results of this technique in hip osteoarthritis patients.
The objective of this trial is to evaluate if dry needling is more effective in symptoms, function, range of motion, strength, muscular length, pain threshold and compared to sham dry needling and control.
For this purpose the investigators conduct a randomized controlled trial double-blind (patient and examiner). The investigators included patients diagnosed of hip osteoarthritis Grade I-III by Scale of Kellgren and Lawrence.
Patients included are randomized into 3 groups one receive Dry needling, other sham dry needling and the other is a control. Groups receive 3 treatment sessions.
The variables are measured at the beginning and end of treatment. And also some variables are measured before and after each session. Patients who participated in sham dry needling or control group, when the intervention finish the investigators will be given the opportunity to receive the actual technique.

结局指标
主要结局
Intensity symptoms
时间窗: through study completion, an average 21 days
The investigators measure the intensity of with a visual analogic scale at the end of the intervention (3 weeks after baseline the investigators measure the intensity of symptoms through study completion, an average 21 days)
Functional Capacity with functional tests
时间窗: through study completion, an average 21 days
The investigator measure the functional capacity with functional test: "Test Up and Go" (TUG test), "20 and 40 meters self-placed" and "30 seconds-chair and stand" at the end of the intervention (through study completion, an average 21 days).
次要结局
- Hip Range of motion(through study completion, an average 21 days)
- Anxiety and depression with a validated questionnaire (HADS)(through study completion, an average 21 days)
- Gait in treadmill(through study completion)
- Muscular strength(through study completion, an average 21 days)
- Muscular length(through study completion, an average 21 days)
