Needles vs. pain: can this treatment ease your muscle knots?

NCT ID NCT07270276

Summary

This study is testing whether a treatment called dry needling can reduce pain from tight, tender spots in the shoulder and neck muscles, known as trigger points. Researchers will compare dry needling to a fake treatment in 70 adults to see if it helps. They will also use special electrical tests and ultrasound to measure changes in the muscle itself.
