Pressure pain threshold of the superficial area of the latent MTrP of the participants of both groups, before and after treatment.
| Before Treatment | After Treatment | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Variable | DDN group (n = 17) | ICT group (n= 17) | p-value * | DDN group (n = 17) | ICT group (n = 17) | p-value * |
| Pressure pain threshold | 2.63±0.65 (2.32–2.94) | 2.62 ± 0.66 (2.30–2.94) | 0.485 | 1.94 ± 0.58 (1.66–2.22) | 2.38 ± 0.73 (2.02–2.73) | 0.032 |
Abbreviations: DDN, deep dry needling; ICT, ischemic compression; PPT, pressure pain threshold. * Parametric Student’s T test for independent samples; Statistical significance for a p-value ˂ 0.05.
