Sponsor's own description
Dry needling is a minimally invasive technique which generates good results and neuromuscular benefits. Its application involves a highly prevalent effect called post-needling soreness. It is defined as a residual pain, located in the incision area, with a self-limiting period of 24-72 hours, as a result of a physiological process generated by the technique. So far, different clinical trials have been carried out to measure the effectiveness of several techniques for reducing post-needling soreness, reaching positive results. However, no studies have been found with the aim of distinguish which method is more effective for this goal; therefore, it is clear the need to continue investigating on the subject and comparing these techniques among them.
