Dry needling frequently is performed by a variety of practitioners for pain treatment. A 16-year-old boy had dry needling in the posterolateral aspect of the right thigh for treatment of pain after a knee injury. He developed an abscess on the posterolateral distal aspect of the right thigh deep to the site of the dry needling. Treatment included surgical drainage and intravenous antibiotics.
Deep infection is a rare but serious complication of dry needling. Standardized guidelines for safety and sterile technique with dry needling are needed to minimize the risk of infection.
多种从业者常进行干针疗法来治疗疼痛。一名16岁男孩因膝部受伤后疼痛，在右大腿后外侧接受了干针治疗。他在干针治疗部位深层的右大腿后外侧远端出现了脓肿。治疗包括手术引流和静脉注射抗生素。
深部感染是干针疗法罕见但严重的并发症。需要制定干针疗法安全和无菌技术的标准化指南，以将感染风险降至最低。
