Validated self-reported outcome measures including the mean numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) and Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (QuickDASH) were taken at baseline. Participants were treated with two to eight sessions of DN to the LHBT and an ECE program and stretching of the biceps muscle. At discharge, patients completed the global rating of change (GROC), QuickDASH and NPRS. Results: Patients had an improved mean NPRS of 3.9 (SD, 1.3; p < 0.001), QuickDASH of 19.01% (SD, 10.8; p < 0.02) and GROC +5.4 (SD, 1.3). Conclusion: Findings from this case series suggest that DN and ECE may be beneficial for the management of patients with chronic LHBT tendinopathy. Further research on the efficacy of this novel treatment approach is warranted.]]> Wed 27 Jul 2022 12:48:25 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38691 Wed 13 Mar 2024 13:43:19 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34516 Wed 08 Jan 2020 11:22:42 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44444 2 = 8.197, P = 0.004), experienced (>4 years; X² = 34.635, P < 0.001), and having more training (>61 h; X² = 8.503, P = 0.004) were associated with reporting a major adverse event occurred during their career. Conclusions Half of physical therapists surveyed performed dry needling. Practice patterns were consistent with expert opinion. The number of adverse events reported suggests further research is needed to quantify the risks of dry needling. Participant characteristics associated with a major adverse event appear to be related to the number of exposures.]]> Thu 13 Oct 2022 12:18:37 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49844 Mon 05 Jun 2023 14:38:59 AEST ]]>
