Summary
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the efficacy of percutaneous electrolysis compared with dry needling on pain sensations and multifidus muscle properties in subjects with low back pain. The main questions it aims to answer are: The high-intensity and low-intensity percutaneous electrolysis may induce pressure pain threshold (PPT) changes in myofascial trigger points in the low back during the intervention compared with dry needling. Percutaneous electrolysis interventions may reduce stiffness in the multifidus muscle during the intervention compared with dry needling.
Detailed description
A parallel-group, controlled, triple-blinded, randomized pilot clinical trial comparing the effects of a single session of high-intensity percutaneous electrolysis (HIPE), low-intensity percutaneous electrolysis (LIPE), and dry needling (DN) applied to the multifidus muscle most active MTrP in subjects with low back pain. This clinical trial will follow the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials for pragmatic clinical trials. This procedure consists of three trials, i.e., (1, HIPE) 660 uA x 30"; (2, LIPE) 220uA x 30"; and (3, DN) with 1 twitch response, and the needle inserted 30".
