简要总结
Randomized clinical trial in individuals with chronic ankle instability. Main outcomes were as follows: pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, lower limb balance and range of motion. The sample will be divided in two groups: 1) dry needling at the gluteus medius trigger point (intervention). 2) dry needling 1,5 cm from the gluteus medius trigger point (control).
详细描述
Inclusion criteria will be: individuals with chronic ankle instability, 20 to 50 years old. Exclusion criteria: any lower limb disease, fractures, infections, pregnancy, received any treatment in the previous 3 months.
Initially, the base measurements were as follows: paint intensity, pressure pain threshold at the gluteus medius trigger point, ankle range of motion and balance of the lower limb.
Once baseline measurements will be taken, the same evaluations will be performed at 4 weeks from the start.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain intensity
时间窗: 1 day
Individuals reported the pain intensity with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS scale). The minimum and maximum scores were 0 (no pain) 100 (the worst pain). There was no sub-scales.
Pain pressure threshold
时间窗: 1 day
Pain pressure threshold were recorded with a pressure algometer. Evaluator press the trigger point with the algometer until the patient feel pain. The outcome will be recorder and expressed in kg/cm2
次要结局
- Range of motion(1 day)
- Balance(1 day)
