Systematic Review: Dry Needling for Sports Athletes – Short-Term Modulation but Limited Long-Term Evidence (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
0xBASE INTEL BRIEF
- Short-term symptom modulation confirmed
- No consistent evidence for long-term prevention
- Further high-quality research needed
"A systematic review published in February 2026 evaluated the effects of dry needling on recovery, neuromuscular function, and injury outcomes in sports athletes. It concluded that dry needling offers short-term symptom modulation but lacks consistent evidence for long-term injury prevention. The review highlights the need for further high-quality research."
