| Résumé : | Background One of the most common knee problems is patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). It is of great importance to pay attention to the muscles of the hip area in people with PFPS, especially to the presence of trigger points within the gluteus medius (GM). Accordingly, using therapeutic interventions to eliminate trigger points is required. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of GM active trigger point dry needling (TrP-DN) on pain and physical function of non-athlete women with unilateral PFPS. Methods 29 young non-athlete women aged between 17 and 40 years old with unilateral PFPS were randomly divided into two groups of experimental (n = 15) and control (n = 14) through the simple and convenience sampling method. Both groups received conventional physiotherapy twice a week up to 6 sessions. The experimental group also received GM active TrP-DN once a week for 3 sessions in addition to the conventional physiotherapy. Pain intensity and physical function of women with PFPS were measured in both groups in three stages of before, immediately after and one week after performing the treatment sessions. Findings The six-session physiotherapy treatment led to a significant reduction in pain intensity as well as an improvement in physical function in both groups (p |
