Summary

This study tests whether a special ultrasound measurement, called the NUN biomarker, can track changes in chronic low back pain after dry needling and predict who will feel better. Researchers will compare real dry needling to a sham (fake) version in 80 adults with muscle-related back pain. The goal is to see if the biomarker drops when pain improves and if it can identify the best candidates for treatment.
