简要总结
Application of trigger point dry needling can induce post-dry needling soreness. This is not a negative experience, but sometimes some patients want to reduce it as much as possible. Different therapeutic strategies targeting to decrease post-dry needling soreness need to be investigated. Since Kinesiotaping has been advocated for decreasing tone in the muscle tissues, it would be a potential intervention for this objective.
