Study Arms (2)
Dry needling in upper trapezius
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients receive dry needling in latent myofascial trigger point in upper trapezius. The needle was penetrated into the muscle fibers of the taut band and was moved upward and downward ("fast in, fast out") in different directions with the aim to elicit LTRs
Dry needling in lower trapezius
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive dry needling in latent myofascial trigger point in lower trapezius. The needle was penetrated into the muscle fibers of the taut band and was moved upward and downward ("fast in, fast out") in different directions with the aim to elicit LTRs
Interventions
The following criteria are required for a patient to have latent TrPs: the presence of a palpable taut band in the upper trapezius muscle, the presence of a hypersensitive spot in the taut band, a palpable or visible local twitch on snapping palpation, and a no familiar reproduction of referred pain elicited by palpation of the sensitive spot. Dry needling is performed with solid filiform needles (0.30x30 mm), these needles are sterile and separately packaged. Needles are not reused and are immediately deposited in a needle container after usage. Patients receive dry needling in latent myofascial trigger point (LTRs) in upper trapezius. The needle is penetrated into the muscle fibers of the taut band and was moved upward and downward ("fast in, fast out") in different directions with the aim to elicit LTRs
