Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of dry needling versus myofascial release on myofascial trigger
points pain in cervical muscles, quality of life, impact of symptoms pain, quality of sleep, anxiety, depression, and fatigue in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome.
Method: A single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted. Sixty-four subjects with fibromyalgia
were randomly assigned to a dry needling group or a myofascial release group. Pain pressure thresholds
of myofascial trigger points were evaluated in the cervical muscles. In addition, quality of life, impact of
fibromyalgia symptoms, quality of sleep, intensity of pain, anxiety and depression symptoms, impact of
fatigue at baseline and post treatment after four weeks of intervention were evaluated.
Results: Significant improvement was found in most pain pressure thresholds of the myofascial trigger
points in cervical muscles in the dry needling group compared to myofascial release (p < 0.05). Similarly,
