Summary

This study aims to find the most effective treatment for chronic pain in the upper shoulder muscle (myofascial pain). Researchers will compare three different approaches in 90 adults: dry needling with stretching, dry needling after a numbing injection, and a fake (sham) needle treatment. The goal is to see which combination best reduces pain and improves function over several months.
