Study Summary
The purposes of this double-blinded, randomized controlled trial are (1) to determine if the addition of trigger point dry needling (TDN) to a standard stretching program results in greater improvements in hamstring flexibility versus stretching alone in a population with atraumatic knee pain; (2) measure length of time that flexibility gains are maintained, (3) assess resulting movement mechanics and (4) assess patient reported changes in pain. Findings will potentially lead to insights as to the benefit of applying this intervention to additional body regions.
