简要总结
Dry needling is typically used to treat muscles, ligaments, tendons, subcutaneous fascia, scar tissue, peripheral nerves, and neurovascular bundles for the management of a variety of neuromusculoskeletal pain syndromes.However, there are contradictory research articles about the optimal duration of dry needling per session.
详细描述
Dry needling is 'an invasive technique used by physical therapists to treat myofascial pain that uses a dry needle, without medication or injection, which is inserted into areas of the muscle known as trigger point defines dry needling as including both muscular and connective tissues, but not neural stimulation. The paper reads, 'dry needling is a skilled intervention that uses a thin filiform needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular, and connective tissues for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments.
The dry needling is reported to improve the level of pain, muscle strength, and flexibility. However, the optimal duration of dry needling to improve muscle strength is still Unknown.

研究组 & 干预措施
Dry needling
During dry needling, a practitioner inserts several filiform needles into your skin. Filiform needles are fine, short, stainless steel needles that don't inject fluid into the body.
干预措施: dry needling (Device)
kinesio taping
The Kinesio Taping Method is a therapeutic taping technique which alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. This lifting affect forms convolutions in the skin increasing interstitial space and allowing for decreased inflammation in affected areas. Based upon research and years of clinical use, The Kinesio Taping Method specifically applies Kinesio tape based on evaluation and assessment to dictate a specific application.
干预措施: kinesio taping (Other)
