简要总结
A double blinded clinical controlled trial will be performed on individuals with patello femoral pain syndrome in which Trigger Point Dry Needling will be given to experimental group while Sham Needling will be given to the control group, targeting the trigger points present in the Quadriceps of affected individuals assessing the pain,functional disability and range of motion of the affected individuals.
详细描述
A double blinded Randomized Controlled Trial of 6 months study after the approval of synopsis, will be conducted. Convenience sampling technique will be used to enroll the patients. Patients will be selected according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. All patients who fulfill inclusion criteria will be allocated in two group through randomization by lottery method. Group A will receive TrP-DN and group B will receive Sham Needling. Both groups will be asked to perform stretching exercise of Quadriceps daily after needling. The patients' outcomes will be measured by VAS for pain intensity and Kujala Questionnaire for functional status. The comparison between pre-treatment and post-treatment data will be done after 3 months. Informed consents will be taken from each patient. Data entry and analysis will be done with SPSS 23.
