Comparative Effects of Electro Dry Needling Versus Dry Needling on Pain, Endurance and Range of Motion in Patients With of Quadratus Lumborum Syndrome
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Electro Dry Needlig and dry needling for Quadratus Lumborum Syndrome. Completed, enrolled 26 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Mechanical low back pain (LBP) generally results from an acute traumatic event, but it may also be caused by cumulative trauma. The severity of an acute traumatic event varies widely, from twisting one's back to being involved in a motor vehicle collision. Mechanical LBP due to cumulative trauma tends to occur more commonly in the workplace and Quadratus Lumborum injury plays an important role in causing MLBP. The aim of this study is To compare the effects of Electrical Dry Needling and Dry Needling on pain, endurance and range of motion in patients with Quadratus Lumborum Syndrome.

Timeline
Interventions
Electro Dry Needling is a modified form of dry needling which utilises an electro-stimulation unit connected via cables to fine filament needles. The combination of dry needling with electro-stimulation often prolongs the pain relief effect by blocking nerve pathways and preventing pain signals from travelling to the brain.
Dry needling is a technique that acupuncturists, physical therapists and other trained healthcare providers use to treat musculoskeletal pain and movement issues.
