The effect of dry needling compared to lumbar spine mobilization on pain, functional disability, quadratus lumborum and lumbar multifidus function, lumbar range of motion and pain pressure threshold in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Abstract: Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a socioeconomic burden worldwide and a major contributor to health-care costs. Mobilization and dry needling (DN) are well-known treatments for LBP. Just one study has compared these two treatments with each other which has some limitations, therefore the purpose of this study is to compare them to each other. Methods and study design: The study is a two-arm randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, controlled trial comparing DN to lumbar spine mobilization in individuals (n=56… Show more

“…Myofascial trigger points (TrPs) are commonly found in these cases. Physical therapy, particularly techniques like dry needling (DN) and muscle energy techniques (METs), has proven effective in treating these TrPs (3,4). A myofascial trigger point (TrP) is a sensitive area in a muscle, characterized by a palpable nodule in a taut band.…”

“…It can cause pain, autonomic symptoms, motor dysfunction, and referred pain. Nearly everyone will face low back pain due to TrPs at some point (5,6). The quadratus lumborum (QL) muscle is often impacted by TrPs in cases of LBP.…”
