Do you have chronic low back pain? You may be eligible for a research study to develop a practical method to identify pain due to low back muscles. Compensation is provided.
There are 2 in-person visits that are 1-3 weeks apart. You will visit one of the study sites at the University of Pittsburgh. During the first visit, once you are enrolled into the study, you will be randomly assigned, like a flip of a coin to one of 2 groups: Dry Needling Group: Dry needling is a therapeutic treatment, often involves inserting thin needles into the skin and muscle at trigger points to relieve pain and improve movement. Sham Needling Group: A placebo treatment is where a needle that does not penetrate the skin is used to mimic the experience of dry needling. You’ll also complete surveys at home after the treatment.
