What article discuss that:
Out of 85 physician resident, 82% failed a MSK competency exam
Freeman, K in 1992 in the journal of Bone and Joint Surgery
What did Josef More in 2005 study of Risk Determination For Patient With Direct Access To PT In The Military Healthcare Facilities concluded after review visits of 95 PT’s at 25 clinics for 40 months showed:
There were no adverse events, litigation, no license suspension

Geneen. Cochrane database. 2017. An overview of cochrane reviews. What does it say:
“There were some favorable effects in reduction of pain severity and improved physical function, though these were mostly of small to moderate effect, and were not consistent across the reviews.” The available evidence suggests that physical activity and exercise is an intervention with few adverse events that may improve pain severity and physical function.”
What does the evidence tells us about PNE for Chronic MSK Pain.
Article by Watson. Journal of Pain. 2019
- PNE does not produce clinically significant decreases in pain or disability
- PNE does produce clinically significant decreases in kinesiophobia and catastrophizing

What is the Kumar et al. (JEMDS, 2016) study about?
They got 90 patient with MusculoSkeletal Pain Syndrome who Failed traditional physical therapy:
• After 1 DN treatment:
>65 patients had excellent results (VAS 0-1)
>18 good results (VAS 2-3)
>5 fair reults (4-5)
>2 showed VAS of 6
Main Results and author for this study:
- In patients that failed physical therapy treatment with eccentric exercise protocol
*Patients randomized to received DN or PRP for patellar tendinopathy
Results:
1. Both groups improved
2. PRP was better at 12 weeks, DN was better at 26 (long term follow up)

Main Results and author for this study:
In Women with PFPS. They Compare Exercise vs Exercise plus QL and Glut med DN
Results:
1.Both groups reached statistical significance for improvement and treatment success
2. DN group significantly better than exercise alone

Main Results and author for this study:
Dry needling vs sham in hip OA
Author:
1. Ceballos- Laita. 2020
Results:
1. DN group showed statistically significant benefits for:
-Pain intensity
-Pain pressure threshold (Increased, meaning patient could tolerate more activity with no pain or less pain)
-Psychological distress
Main Results and author for this study:
-Dry needling, acupuncture, SMT for chronic pain in the military
Results:
1. Those military patients with non-pharm treatments had less
– Alcohol/drug disorders
– Accidental poisoning from opioids/sedatives/barbituates/narcotics
– Less self inflicted harm
