Dry needling with electrical stimulation for restless legs syndrome
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment called dry needling with electrical stimulation to see if it helps people with restless legs syndrome feel better. The treatment involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body, which might reduce symptoms like the urge to move your legs.

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 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 study tests whether combining dry needling (thin needles inserted into muscle knots) with vibration therapy can reduce low back pain from trigger points. It aims to help people who have had non-specific low back pain for over six weeks and are between 35 and 65 years old.
This study tests a treatment called dry needling, where very thin needles are inserted into sensitive muscle areas to relieve low back pain. It is designed for people whose pain is focused on a specific bone area in the lower back, and it aims to see if this needle therapy helps reduce pain and improve function.
