Condition(s) studied

Low Back Pain

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Electrolysis Percutaneous Therapeutic (EPTE)Dry Needling

Electrolysis Percutaneous Therapeutic (EPTE): EPTE device (Ionclinics, Valencia, Spain)

Dry Needling: A dry needle with size 0.30 × 40 (Agupunt, Barcelona, Spain)

Study summary

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the efficacy of percutaneous electrolysis compared with dry needling on pain sensations and multifidus muscle properties in subjects with low back pain. The main questions it aims to answer are:

The high-intensity and low-intensity percutaneous electrolysis may induce pressure pain threshold (PPT) changes in myofascial trigger points in the low back during the intervention compared with dry needling.

Percutaneous electrolysis interventions may reduce stiffness in the multifidus muscle during the intervention compared with dry needling.

Inclusion Criteria: * to report low back pain of at least six months duration, * aged 35 to 50 years, * at least one active trigger point is present in the multifidus muscle. Exclusion Criteria: * pharmacological (e.g., analgesics) or physiotherapy treatment before or during their participation in the study, * needle fear, * prior lower extremity or spine surgery, absence of pain, any musculoskeletal or neuropathic conditions (e.g., peripheral compressive neuropathy, radiculopathy, sarcopenia, fibromyalgia, muscle ruptures), traumatic injuries (e.g., fractures or fissures), or any medical condition or contraindication for needling treatment (e.g., anticoagulants).

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Pain changes in pain intensity before and after the intervention — Baseline, immediately after, and 24 after of intervention
    A 10-point Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS; 0: no pain, 10: maximum pain) will be used to assess the patient's current level of shoulder pain, and the worst and lowest level of pain experienced in the preceding week in the shoulder area.
