ADVERSE EVENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THERAPEUTIC DRY NEEDLING.

Background: There is a paucity of literature about the adverse events associated with Therapeutic Dry Needling (TDN). Much of the literature surrounding adverse events associated with TDN has been extrapolated from the acupuncture literature. Given that acupuncture and TDN are distinctly different in their application and proposed mechanisms, adverse events associated with TDN should be examined specifically.

The ability to reproduce the patient's symptoms aids in the differential diagnostic process.
