Blind Needling Accuracy in Lumbar Muscles

20 participantsStarted 2025-09-28

Plain-language summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of blinded invasive interventions (dry needling) on the deep paraspinal muscles of the lumbar region (iliocostalis lumborum, longissimus thoracis, and multifidus) to reach the anatomical target. The accuracy of the interventions will be evaluated observationally with ultrasonography after the procedure.
