Summary

This study will compare the effect of dry needling on the active trigger point on sternocleidomastoid versus the effect of dry needling at 1.5 centimeters of active trigger point on sternocleidomastoid, both combined with ischemic compression, on cervical pain and cervical motor control short and medium term.

Conditions

• Cervical Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Dry Needling and Ischemic Compression at the Trigger Point	The intervention consist on dry needling in the active trigger point, and next, do ischemic compression in the same point.
OTHER	Dry Needling and Ischemic Compression at 1.5 centimeters from the Trigger Point	The intervention consist on dry needling at 1.5 centimeters from the active trigger point, and next, do ischemic compression in the same point.
