Thread 🧵 In a RCT of 101 pts. with lateral epicondylalgia, Uygur et al. compared 5 sessions of dry needling (DN) targeting the lateral epicondyle and extensor carpi radialis muscle with a single corticosteroid injection (CSI). @DrDunning @PaulBliton @PatrickGorby @DrEscaloniPT

📊 Results showed a progressive decrease in the Patient Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation at short (3 week) and long term (6 month) follow up in both groups, favoring the DN group. Adverse effects were more likely in CSI (4 pts., 7.6%) compared to the DN group (1 pt., 2.0%).

Lots of great discussion regarding chronic pain and the axiom “neurons that fire together, wire together”. Dry needling with electrical stimulation is a powerful tool in reversing states of central sensitization!
