Brief Summary:
Application of trigger point dry needling can induce post-dry needling soreness. This is not a negative experience, but sometimes some patients want to reduce it as much as possible. Different therapeutic strategies targeting to decrease post-dry needling soreness need to be investigated. Previous studies have investigated spray and stretch, ischemic compression or low-load eccentric exercise as post-needling intervention procedures. There is increasing evidence supporting the role of descending pain inhibition mechanisms for paon control. The application of virtual reality as a distraction technique could active brain mechanisms during dry needling. Therefore, the objective of this study will be to investigate the effects of playing virtual reality during the application of dry needling on post-needling soreness over trigger points in the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle. A secondary aim will be to determine the prognostic role of baseline scores of pressure pain sensitivity, related-disability, anxiety and catastrophizing levels.
