Brief Summary

Dry needling is a new treatment technique, addressed to mechanical pain of the neuromusculoskeletal system. Recent investigations has developed new hypothesis about the etiology of the osteoarthritis and could be in relation to musculoskeletal disorders, but there is no published studies evaluating the results of this technique in hip osteoarthritis patients. The objective of this trial is to evaluate if dry needling is more effective in symptoms, function, range of motion, strength, muscular length, pain threshold and compared to sham dry needling and control. For this purpose the investigators conduct a randomized controlled trial double-blind (patient and examiner). The investigators included patients diagnosed of hip osteoarthritis Grade I-III by Scale of Kellgren and Lawrence. Patients included are randomized into 3 groups one receive Dry needling, other sham dry needling and the other is a control. Groups receive 3 treatment sessions. The variables are measured at the beginning and end of treatment. And also some variables are measured before and after each session. Patients who participated in sham dry needling or control group, when the intervention finish the investigators will be given the opportunity to receive the actual technique.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Functional Capacity with functional tests

  The investigators measure the functional capacity with functional test: "test Up and Go" (TUG), "20 and 40 meters self-placed" and "30 seconds-chair stand" at baseline

  Baseline

• Intensity symptoms

  The investigators measure the intensity of with a visual analogic scale pre-intervention at baseline

  Baseline

• Intensity symptoms

  The investigators measure the intensity of with a visual analogic scale at the end of the intervention (3 weeks after baseline the investigators measure the intensity of symptoms through study completion, an average 21 days)

  through study completion, an average 21 days

• Functional Capacity with functional tests

  The investigator measure the functional capacity with functional test: "Test Up and Go" (TUG test), "20 and 40 meters self-placed" and "30 seconds-chair and stand" at the end of the intervention (through study completion, an average 21 days).

  through study completion, an average 21 days

Secondary Outcomes (14)

• Hip Range of motion

  Baseline

• Hip Range of motion

  through study completion, an average 21 days

• Muscular strength

  Baseline

• Muscular strength

  through study completion, an average 21 days

• Muscular length

Dry needling

EXPERIMENTAL

Dry needling technique in each active myofascial trigger point once per week for 3 weeks.

Other: Dry needling

Sham Dry needling

SHAM COMPARATOR

Sham Dry needling technique in each active myofascial trigger point once per week for 3 weeks.

Other: Sham Dry needling

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Interventions

Dry needling OTHER

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.

Dry needling

Sham Dry needling OTHER

Sham Dry needling use a non-penetrating acupuncture needle

Sham Dry needling
