NCT ID NCT06338514
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study tests whether dry needling—a treatment where thin needles are inserted into muscle knots—can reduce back pain caused by myofascial pain syndrome. Fifty adults with moderate to severe pain will receive either real or sham needling, guided by ultrasound, to see if it improves pain and daily function. Neither the patient nor the evaluator will know which treatment is given, ensuring unbiased results.
