简要总结
The purpose of this study are (1) to determine the effectiveness of different dry needling dosages in the treatment of myofascial trigger points in the upper trapezius muscle in patients with myofascial neck pain, (2) to assess postneedling soreness and tenderness and (3) evaluate the influence of psychological factors on the perception of postneedling soreness.

- •Diagnosis of an active myofascial trigger point. Neck pain: Superior to 3 cm in VAS
排除标准
- •Neck area: Fracture, radiculopathy, previous surgery, previous needling treatment in the last 6 months, previous analgesic medication (24 hours), psychiatric disease
研究组 & 干预措施
Dry needling: 4 local twitch responses
Deep dry needling in the active myofascial trigger point in the upper trapezius muscle. The muscle fibers were repeatedly perforated by rapidly inserting and partially withdrawing the needle from the MTrP until 4 local twitch responses were elicited.
干预措施: Dry needling (Procedure)
Dry needling: 6 local twitch responses
Deep dry needling in the active myofascial trigger point in the upper trapezius muscle. The muscle fibers were repeatedly perforated by rapidly inserting and partially withdrawing the needle from the MTrP until 6 local twitch responses were elicited.
干预措施: Dry needling (Procedure)
Dry needling: Until no more local twitch responses elicited
Deep dry needling in the active myofascial trigger point in the upper trapezius muscle. The muscle fibers were repeatedly perforated by rapidly inserting and partially withdrawing the needle from the MTrP until no more local twitch responses were elicited.
干预措施: Dry needling (Procedure)
Control
The needle was inserted 1.5 cm away from the trigger point in the trapezius muscle and withdrawn without any consecutive insertion.
干预措施: Control (Procedure)
