    • described by the American Physical Therapy Association as “a skilled intervention that uses a thin filiform needle to penetrate the skin and stimulate underlying myofascial trigger points, muscular, and connective tissues for the management of neuromusculoskeletal pain and movement impairments”. As research into the efficacy of DN increases, the search for appropriate control groups and/or sham treatments intensifies as well. A valid control or sham treatment must be used in order to establish a cause and effect relationship of a treatment. A control group helps ensure that changes in the dependent variable (outcomes, such as “pain”) are due to changes in the independent variable (DN treatment or control/sham treatment) and not due to the therapeutic setting or chance
