Effect of Mirror Therapy on Post-Needling Pain Following Deep Dry Needling of Myofascial Trigger Point in Lateral Elbow Pain

Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2023
The goal of this randomized, controlled pilot trial is to investigate the immediate effects of incorporating Mirror Visual Feedback Therapy (MFT) on pain sensitivity and motor performance in individuals experiencing Post-needling pain associated with lateral elbow pain. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does incorporating Mirror Visual Feedback Therapy reduce Post-needling pain intensity? * Does incorporating Mirror Visual Feedback Therapy improve pressure pain threshold? * Does incorporating Mirror Visual Feedback Therapy improve maximum grip strenght? Participants will be asked to undergo pre- and post-treatment evaluations, which include assessments of Post-needling pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, two-point discrimination threshold, and maximum hand grip strength. Participants in the Experimental Group will receive Deep Dry Needling in the m. Brachioradialis, Ischemic Compression, Cold Spray, Stretching, and Mirror Visual Feedback Therapy. Those in the Control Group will not receive Mirror Visual Feedback Therapy. Researchers will compare the Experimental Group to the Control Group to see if the incorporation of Mirror Visual Feedback Therapy results in a reduction in Post-needling pain intensity and improvement in pressure pain threshold.
