Effects of dry needling on spasticity, cortical excitability, and range of motion in a patient with multiple sclerosis: a case report

Abstract Background Dry needling is an intervention used by physiotherapists to manage muscle spasticity. We report the effects of three sessions of dry needling on ankle plantar flexor muscle spasticity and cortical excitability in a patient with multiple sclerosis. Case presentation The patient wa...
