About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Chronic Instability of Joint focused on measuring ankle, dry needling, trigger point
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- individuals with chronic ankle instability, 20 to 50 years old.
Exclusion Criteria:
- any lower limb disease, fractures, infections, pregnancy, received any treatment in the previous 3 months.
Sites / Locations
- Fiom clinic

Intervention group
Control group
Arm Description
Individuals for this group will be treat with a dry needling intervention at the gluteus medius trigger point.
Individuals for this group will be treat with a dry needling technique at 1,5 cm from the trigger point (not in the trigger point).
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Pain intensity
Individuals reported the pain intensity with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS scale). The minimum and maximum scores were 0 (no pain) 100 (the worst pain). There was no sub-scales.
Pain pressure threshold
Pain pressure threshold were recorded with a pressure algometer. Evaluator press the trigger point with the algometer until the patient feel pain. The outcome will be recorder and expressed in kg/cm2
Secondary Outcome Measures
Range of motion
Assess the ankle range of motion with a goniometer.
Balance
Assess the lower limb balance with the star excursion balance test

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Randomized clinical trial in individuals with chronic ankle instability. Main outcomes were as follows: pain intensity, pressure pain threshold, lower limb balance and range of motion. The sample will be divided in two groups: 1) dry needling at the gluteus medius trigger point (intervention). 2) dry needling 1,5 cm from the gluteus medius trigger point (control).
Detailed Description
Inclusion criteria will be: individuals with chronic ankle instability, 20 to 50 years old. Exclusion criteria: any lower limb disease, fractures, infections, pregnancy, received any treatment in the previous 3 months.
Initially, the base measurements were as follows: paint intensity, pressure pain threshold at the gluteus medius trigger point, ankle range of motion and balance of the lower limb.
Once baseline measurements will be taken, the same evaluations will be performed at 4 weeks from the start.
