Physiotherapy dry needling accuracy study
This study tests how accurately physiotherapists can place dry needling needles. If you are a licensed physiotherapist or a volunteer who can safely receive dry needling, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a physiotherapist who is licensed and in good standing with your regulatory college.
- You have not taken a cadaver review class after graduating from physiotherapy school.
- If you are the person receiving the needles, you must be able to give informed consent.
- You must not have any medical reasons that would make dry needling unsafe for you.

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 whether doctors can accurately place dry needling needles into specific hip muscles without using imaging guidance. It aims to improve treatment for muscle-related hip pain by checking if a standard technique is reliable and safe.
This study tests if dry needling (using thin needles on trigger points) can change how the shoulder muscles work. It aims to help people with long-term shoulder pain or healthy people understand muscle responses.
This trial tests how accurate 'blind' dry needling is in the lower back muscles. Dry needling uses thin needles to release muscle knots and may help reduce pain.
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.
This study tests whether a treatment called dry needling (using thin needles on muscle knots) helps people with long-term low back pain tied to muscle tightness. It is for those who have not tried this treatment before and whose main pain is in the lower back.
