ABSTRACT

Introduction: Myofascial trigger points (MTP) are an important cause of musculoskeletal pain and are defi ned as localized pain, expressed in a band of hyperirritable tense muscle fiber that can be referred to distant areas.
Objective: To describe the immediate effect of dry needling (DN) on muscle activity and pain intensity in subjects with myofascial trigger points in the upper trapezius.
Methods: A sample of 36 participants with latent PGM diagnosis was selected. They underwent an intervention with dry puncture and the variables of pain with VAS and muscular activity of the upper trapezius were measured before and after the intervention in a gesture of anterior reach.
Results: After the application of DN, muscle activity decreased by 4.53 % (p = 0.002), pain by 1.53 cm (p = 0.000).
Conclusion: The DN application has an immediate effect on the decreased muscle activity and pain in latent PGM in the upper trapezius during a previous functional range.



RESUMEN

Introducción: Los puntos gatillo miofasciales (PGM) son una causa importante de dolor musculoesquelético que se defi nen como un dolor localizado, expresado en una banda de fibra muscular tensa, hiperirritable, que puede ser referido a zonas distantes.
Objetivo: Describir el efecto inmediato de la punción seca (PS) sobre la actividad muscular y la intensidad de dolor en sujetos con puntos gatillo miofasciales en el trapecio superior.
Métodos: Se seleccionó una muestra de 36 participantes con diagnóstico PGM latentes. Se les realizó una intervención con punción seca y se midieron las variables de dolor con EVA y actividad muscular del trapecio superior con electromiografía antes y después de la intervención en un gesto de alcance anterior.
Resultados: Posterior a la aplicación de PS, la actividad muscular disminuyó en un 4,53 % (p = 0,002), el dolor en un 1,53 cm (p = 0,000).
Conclusión: La aplicación PS tiene un efecto inmediato en la disminución de la actividad muscular y el dolor en PGM latente en el trapecio superior durante un alcance funcional anterior.
