First seen Sep 30, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study tests whether dry needling (inserting thin needles into muscle knots) can reduce shoulder pain in people with myofascial pain syndrome. About 50 adults with shoulder pain will receive either real or fake (sham) dry needling, guided by ultrasound, to see if the treatment truly helps. Neither the patient nor the evaluator will know which group they are in, making the results more reliable.
