Clinical Trial: Referred Pain Patterns Infraspinatus Muscle

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: Referred Pain Patterns in Trigger Point 2 of the Infraspinatus Muscle in Patients With Shoulder Pain

Brief Summary: The first aim of the study will be to identify the most common ReP pattern and compare its coincidence with that described by Travell and Simons. Second, the study aim will be to verify whether there are any significant differences by sex and types of technique used in regard to the ReP pattern of TrP 2 of the infraspinatus muscle, an area described as more sensitive.Finally, the third aim of the study will be to determine whether deep dry needling will evoke the LTR and ReP more easily than manual palpation.
