NCT05870904•Health Education Research Foundation (HERF)

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This randomized control trial was conducted to investigate the efficacy of trigger point dry needling which is a modern treatment intervention compared with ischemic compression release in the patients having neck pain due to myofascial trigger points.

Detailed Description

Many treatment protocols have been used in the clinical arena for the improvement of neck pain but un-availability of follow-up studies and lack of evidence of modern treatment interventions are few shortcomings a researcher faces. Thus, a need stands up to address these perspectives for newer treatment strategies. This randomized control trial is conducted to investigate the efficacy of trigger point dry needling which is a modern treatment intervention compared with ischemic compression release in the patients having neck pain due to myofascial trigger points. Findings of this research will assist in creating awareness about better treatment intervention for trigger point release among medical community.
