NCT ID NCT06938425
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 24, 2026
Summary
This study compares two needle-based treatments—electrolysis and dry needling—against standard physiotherapy for whiplash pain from car accidents. Thirty-six adults with neck pain and active trigger points will receive one of the three approaches. The goal is to see which method best reduces pain and improves muscle function in the short and medium term.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
intratissue percutaneous electrolysis and deep dry needling
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer more effective, non-drug options for reducing pain and improving muscle function in people with whiplash after car accidents.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (36 people) comparing techniques, not a cure. Results may not apply to all whiplash patients, and the invasive needles carry minor risks like bruising or soreness.
