Needles for knees: can poking muscles ease chronic pain?
NCT ID NCT02890485
Summary
This study is testing whether a technique called dry needling can help people with chronic knee pain. Dry needling involves inserting thin needles into tight muscles to help them relax, aiming to reduce pain and improve strength and movement. The study will compare real dry needling, fake (sham) needling, and standard physical therapy alone in 120 adults to see which approach works best.
