Brief Summary:
AbstractsBackground
Physical therapists frequently utilize dry needling DN which focuses on trigger points and non-trigger point structures to treat mechanical neck pain MNP It is an invasive procedure that involves inserting solid fiber needles into myofascial trigger points or hyperirritable nodules that are painful to the touch This procedure can affect the motor and autonomic neurons and relieve pain
Objectives
examining the short-term effects of dry needling in combination with a standardized exercise program on pain and quality of life in chronic mechanical neck pain
Methods
The allocation of 18 participants to the DN or Exercise intervention groups will be done at random Before the exam the Beck Depression Inventory BDI Neck Disability Index NDI Short Form-36 Quality of Life Scale and Numerical Rating Scale NPS-11 will be evaluated
Analytical Statistics
For the statistical analysis of the data SPSS 230 will be employed The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test will be used to determine whether the data are distributed normally The effectiveness of each intervention will be determined using a paired t test and between-group comparisons will be made using an independent t test The distribution of categorical variables will be compared using a chi-square test A 95 confidence interval and p005 will be used to determine significance

Detailed Description:
Procedure
The lead investigator screened the participants to ensure that they met the requirements for participation in the study
The participants were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group
Intervention
Needling dry
The experimental group will receive dry needling in addition to the exercise routine while the control group will just receive the exercise protocol
The trigger point TrP DN will be used and a TrP location will be palpated and designated for needle insertion in the upper trapezius muscle Stainless-steel disposable needles 03 30 mm Novasan SA
The needle will be placed into the skin for up to 10 to 15 mm until a local twitch reaction is felt and the person will be monitored for two weeks after that For two weeks the participant will begin the workouts once daily
Protocol for neck exercise
Both the experimental and control groups will get a standardized workout regimen that included neck and upper back muscular stretching and strengthening
Confidentiality
Data will be collected collectively and maintained confidentially in a computer protected by a password no individuals name will be revealed
