This study aims to investigate the effects of dry-needling treatment on the quality of life in athletes with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). The participants included in the study were 50 athletes (38 males and 12 females) diagnosed with MPS. The treatments were carried out in four sessions, 5/7 days apart on 55 muscles in total. A 36-item health survey (SF-36) was implemented to determine the participants' quality of life. The chi-square test was used to determine the differences between measurements. Dry-needling treatment has a positive influence on self-perspective of physical functioning ( = 0.011, on average), physical problems ( = 0.001, on average), emotional problems ( = 0.004, on average), social functioning ( = 0.001, on average), pain ( = 0.001, on average), and mental health and vitality ( = 0.001, on average) in athletes with MPS. The only quality-of-life dimension not influenced by the dry-needling treatment is the general health perception ( = 0.340, on average). Dry-needling therapy has positive effects on the perception of quality of life in athletes with MPS.
本研究旨在探讨干针疗法对肌筋膜疼痛综合征（MPS）运动员生活质量的影响。纳入本研究的参与者为50名被诊断为MPS的运动员（38名男性和12名女性）。治疗共进行四个疗程，每隔5/7天进行一次，总共针对55块肌肉。采用36项健康调查（SF - 36）来确定参与者的生活质量。使用卡方检验来确定测量结果之间的差异。干针疗法对MPS运动员的身体功能自我认知（平均p = 0.011）、身体问题（平均p = 0.001）、情绪问题（平均p = 0.004）、社会功能（平均p = 0.001）、疼痛（平均p = 0.001）以及心理健康和活力（平均p = 0.001）均有积极影响。干针疗法唯一未影响的生活质量维度是总体健康感知（平均p = 0.340）。干针疗法对MPS运动员的生活质量感知有积极作用。
