Abstract：
The treatment of myofascial pain in athletes requires a set of rehabilitation techniques that aim to be effective quickly. In this context, dry needling (DNY) has shown interesting results due to its ability to reduce pain in the short term. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of DNY in managing myofascial shoulder pain in overhead athletes. PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science were screened up to March 2024, to identify studies that met the following inclusion criteria: overhead athletes with shoulder pain with a DNY approach for myofascial trigger points (MTrPs), RCT, case-control study, feasibility study as the study design. Exclusion criteria were studies that did not include athletes, studies that did not focus on the treatment of MTrPs with DNY, other reviews, no full-text availability and papers written in a language other than English. Out of 399 articles, 165 were excluded as duplicates. Of the 234 articles screened, only 6 articles met the inclusion criteria. A total of 6 studies were included in the systematic review. Initial results showed that DNY improved pain rapidly and in the short term; however, there is still no consensus on the minimum number and the interval between treatments. Major findings reported a rapid potential decrease in perceived pain, shoulder disability and an increase in muscle strength; in this scenario, DNY might be a valid solution in a sports rehabilitation setting.
摘要：
运动员肌筋膜疼痛的治疗需要一套旨在快速有效的康复技术。在这种情况下，干针（DNY）由于其在短期内减轻疼痛的能力而显示出有趣的结果。因此，本研究的目的是探讨DNY在治疗头顶运动员肩关节肌筋膜疼痛中的作用.PubMed,截至2024年3月，Scopus和WebofScience进行了筛选，以确定符合以下纳入标准的研究：高架运动员肩痛，采用DNY方法治疗肌筋膜触发点（MTrP），RCT,病例对照研究，可行性研究作为研究设计。排除标准是不包括运动员的研究，不关注DNY治疗MTrPs的研究，其他评论,没有全文可用性和以英语以外的语言编写的论文。在399篇文章中，165个被排除为重复。在筛选的234篇文章中，只有6篇文章符合纳入标准。共有6项研究纳入系统评价。初步结果显示，DNY在短期迅速改善疼痛；然而，对于最小次数和治疗间隔时间仍未达成共识.主要发现报告了感知疼痛的快速潜在减少，肩膀残疾和肌肉力量的增加；在这种情况下，DNY可能是运动康复环境中的有效解决方案。
