Eligibility
Age
18 Years to 60 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Adults aged 18 to 60 years old with chronic neck pain and symptoms lasting for at least twelve weeks; presenting with myofascial trigger point in only one upper trapezius muscle.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: history of upper quadrant surgery; non-myofascial disorders, presence of myofascial trigger point bilaterally in the upper trapezius muscle; complaints of pain or injuries around the elbow or forearm; having received treatment for neck pain within the past twelve weeks; rariculopathies.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| the expected primary outcome was pain threshold at upper trapezius muscle, measured in kilograms per square centimeter. An increase in pain threshold at a pressure greater than 0.2 kg is assumed as expected after application of therapy. This outcome was collected at the baseline, immediately after the application of the therapy and ten minutes after the application of the therapy. Results: for this outcome, both intervention groups, dry needling and myofascial release, had statistically significant (p <0.05) and clinically significant (greater than 0.2 kg) results compared to placebo for the post-intervention moments and ten minutes after therapy.;the outcome found for the groups that received intervention was statistically significant, p <0.05, and clinically significant, greater than 0.2Kg, compared to placebo for the post-intervention immediate moments and ten minutes after therapy. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The expected secondary outcome was pressure pain threshold at the elbow region, measured in kilograms per square centimeter. An increase in pain threshold at pressure greater than 0.2 kg after therapy is assumed to be clinically relevant. The outcome will be collected at baseline, immediately after therapy and ten minutes after therapy.;The secondary endpoint was statistically significant, p <0.05, and clinically relevant, higher than 0.2Kg, in the group treated with the dry needling technique compared to the other groups for the moments after the immediate intervention and ten minutes after the application of the therapy. | — |
