Abstract

Introduction

Dry needling (DN) for Myofascial trigger points (MTrP's) can be done on superficial or deep tissue levels for the management of a range of neuromusculoskeletal pain disorders. There is still much to learn about dry needling, despite the fact that it has been demonstrated to be useful for a variety of illnesses. The aim of the current study was to determine the effectiveness of DN with stretching on pain and disability in the treatment of athletes with iliotibial band (ITB) tightness.

Design

A Clinical Trial.

Methods

For this study, 38 athletes both male and female, aged between 18 to 28 years, with tight iliotibial bands were divided into two groups: DN (n = 19) [Mean age (Years) 21.11 ± 2.96, Height (Cm) 171.16 ± 8.97, Weight (Kg) 63.73 ± 14.12, BMI (Kg/m²) 21.68 ± 3.53] and control group (n = 19) [Mean age 20.26 ± 2.37 (Years), Height (Cm) 166.31 ± 7.97, Weight (Kg) 56.02 ± 9.49, BMI (Kg/m²) 20.17 ± 2.39] who received ITB stretching. As outcome measures both before and after the treatment, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) were used.

Results

The difference in pain and functional scale was assessed using paired and unpaired t-tests. Post-treatment, individuals who received DN showed statistically greater improvements in pain (p = 0.000) and disability (p = 0.001) than those who received stretching.

Conclusion

According to this trial's findings, three sessions of DN with stretching are more effective at reducing pain and enhancing iliotibial band functionality.

干针疗法对髂胫束紧绷运动员疼痛和残疾的疗效--一项临床试验

导言干针疗法（DN）可用于治疗肌筋膜触发点（MTrP）的表层或深层组织，以治疗一系列神经肌肉骨骼疼痛疾病。尽管干针疗法已被证明对多种疾病有用，但仍有许多知识需要学习。本研究旨在确定干针疗法与拉伸疗法在治疗髂胫束（ITB）紧绷症运动员的疼痛和残疾方面的效果：DN组（n = 19）[平均年龄（岁）21.11 ± 2.96，身高（厘米）171.16 ± 8.97，体重（千克）63.73 ± 14.12，体重指数（千克/平方米）21.68 ± 3.53]和对照组（n = 19）[平均年龄（岁）20.26 ± 2.37，身高（厘米）166.31 ± 7.97，体重（千克）56.02 ± 9.49，体重指数（千克/平方米）20.17 ± 2.39]接受髂胫束拉伸。采用视觉模拟量表（VAS）和下肢功能量表（LEFS）作为治疗前后的结果测量指标。治疗后，与接受拉伸治疗的患者相比，接受 DN 治疗的患者在疼痛（p = 0.000）和残疾（p = 0.001）方面的改善幅度更大。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
