Summary

This study tests whether dry needling (inserting thin needles into muscle knots) can reduce back pain in people with myofascial pain syndrome. About 50 adults with shoulder blade pain will receive either real or fake (sham) needling, and neither they nor the evaluator will know which they got. The goal is to see if the treatment truly eases pain and improves daily function.
