Summary
This study tested whether dry needling (thin needles placed into muscle knots) can reduce pain and improve neck movement in people with long-lasting mechanical neck pain. Forty adults aged 25 to 65 took part. One group got dry needling plus neck exercises, while the other got standard treatments like TENS and ultrasound with the same exercises. The goal was to see which approach works better for easing pain and helping daily activities.
