Summary
The dry needling technique is a procedure increasingly used by health professionals. Dry needling consists of the use of a filiform needle to treat musculoskeletal pain. Currently, the mechanisms by which it is an effective technique are not well understood. One of the aspects not yet evaluated is the best dose in terms of the number of times it is necessary to insert the needle into the patient to achieve the best result. This research work aims to assess which treatment obtains the best results in the management of patients with chronic neck pain.
