Postneedling soreness and tenderness after different dosages of dry needling of an active myofascial trigger point in patients with neck pain: a randomised controlled trial

Previous studies in asymptomatic subjects have demonstrated that myofascial trigger point (MTrP) dry needling is frequently associated with postneedling soreness. However, to the author ’s knowledge, there is not any study that performs a detailed description of postneedling soreness characteristics in patients with myofascial pain. This information could help clinicians to make evidence-informed decisions considering the benefits and negative effects of different dry needling do sages.
