Effectiveness of Dry Needling Adjuvant to Selective Serotonin Reputake Inhibitors vs TP Injection for Pain Management

Group A will undergo dry needling sessions twice a week over eight weeks, specifically targeting trigger points and tender points. Simultaneously, a consistent dosage of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) will be administered and maintained throughout the entire duration of the study.

Group B will undergo a comprehensive intervention involving trigger point injections administered biweekly over eight weeks. These injections will specifically target trigger points. Additionally, a control measure will be implemented through simulated needling at non-specific points.
