The poke count: does more needle jabs mean less pain?

NCT ID NCT04732507

Summary

This study aims to find the best number of needle passes during a common pain-relief procedure called a trigger point injection. Researchers will compare pain relief, sleep, and daily function in 300 patients with chronic muscle pain who receive either 2, 10, or 20 needle passes at their painful spots. The goal is to create clear guidelines for doctors so patients get the most effective treatment with the fewest side effects.
