简要总结
The first aim of the study will be to identify the most common ReP pattern and compare its coincidence with that described by Travell and Simons. Second, the study aim will be to verify whether there are any significant differences by sex and types of technique used in regard to the ReP pattern of TrP 2 of the infraspinatus muscle, an area described as more sensitive.Finally, the third aim of the study will be to determine whether deep dry needling will evoke the LTR and ReP more easily than manual palpation.
详细描述
Patients will be recruited from a university's employee and student population by advertising at the university. Patients with shoulder complaints (described as pain felt in the shoulder or upper arm) will be randomly assigned to either an manual palpation or deep dry needling group. Participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups, a deep dry needling group and manual palpation group. Visual analogue scale (VAS), referred pain (ReP) pattern and features of referred pain of the infraspinatus muscle will be all assessed post-technique.

结局指标
主要结局
Mapping of Referred Pain Pattern
时间窗: One month
The participants from both groups will ask to report whether ReP is evoked and to describe the ReP pattern using an anatomical map of the upper half of the human body divided into eighteen areas. Nine areas corresponded to the anterior part of the body and the other nine to the posterior part of the body.
次要结局
- Evocation of Local Twitch Response(One month)
- Subjective pain intensity: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)(One month)
- Prevalence active trigger point(One month)
