This study aims to analyze the effects of Dry Needling (DN) for the release of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in the triceps surae muscles (TSM). A systematic review was performed up to February 2022 in PubMed, PEDro, Scopus, CENTRAL, and Web of Science. Selection criteria were studies involving subjects older than 18 years presenting MTrPs in the TSM, without any concomitant acute or chronic musculoskeletal conditions; DN interventions applied to the MTrPs of the TSM; and results on pain, range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, muscle stiffness, and functional outcomes. The PEDro scale was used to assess the methodological quality of the studies, and the Risk of Bias Tool 2.0 to assess risk of bias. A total of 12 studies were included in the systematic review, involving 426 participants. These results suggest that DN of MTrPs in TSM could have a positive impact on muscle stiffness and functional outcomes. There are inconclusive findings on musculoskeletal pain, ROM, and muscle strength. Significant results were obtained in favor of the control groups on pressure pain thresholds. Despite the benefits obtained on muscle stiffness and functional performance, the evidence for the use of DN of MTrPs in the TSM remains inconclusive.
本研究旨在分析干针疗法(DN)对腓肠肌(TSM)肌筋膜触发点(MTrP)松解的效果。截至2022年2月,在PubMed、PEDro、Scopus、CENTRAL和科学网进行了系统综述。选择标准为涉及年龄超过18岁、在TSM中存在MTrP且无任何并发急性或慢性肌肉骨骼疾病的受试者的研究;应用于TSM的MTrP的DN干预;以及关于疼痛、活动范围(ROM)、肌肉力量、肌肉僵硬度和功能结局的结果。使用PEDro量表评估研究的方法学质量,并使用偏倚风险工具2.0评估偏倚风险。系统综述共纳入12项研究,涉及426名参与者。这些结果表明,TSM中MTrP的DN可能对肌肉僵硬度和功能结局产生积极影响。关于肌肉骨骼疼痛、ROM和肌肉力量的研究结果尚无定论。在压力疼痛阈值方面,对照组取得了显著结果。尽管在肌肉僵硬度和功能表现方面取得了益处,但TSM中MTrP使用DN的证据仍然尚无定论。
