Dry needling with electrical stimulation for restless legs
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining dry needling with electrical stimulation can reduce symptoms of restless legs syndrome. If you have restless legs, the treatment might help lessen discomfort and urge to move, compared with standard care or other study procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if combining dry needling with gentle stretching or muscle energy techniques works better for treating neck pain caused by muscle knots (trigger points). It aims to find a simple, effective way to reduce pain and improve movement.
This study tests whether dry needling (a therapy using thin needles to release muscle tightness) can help reduce leg stiffness and improve walking in people with multiple sclerosis. If you have leg spasticity and can walk with some help, this trial may be a good fit.
This study tests whether dry needling—a technique using thin needles to treat muscle pain—can help reduce lower leg pain in people with multiple sclerosis. Researchers want to see if this treatment can safely improve pain and function.
This study checks if a treatment called dry needling (putting thin needles into tight muscles) can help reduce leg stiffness after a stroke. It uses ultrasound and muscle activity readings to see how well it works.
This study tests whether dry needling (thin needles placed into specific muscles) can reduce moderate, long-lasting lower back pain. It focuses on people who have pain from trigger points in a specific back muscle, rather than pain caused by other medical problems.
This trial tests if adding vibration to dry needling (a technique where thin needles are inserted into tight muscle spots) helps relieve low back pain more than dry needling alone. It is for people with ongoing low back pain that has lasted more than six weeks.
