About this trial
The aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of blinded invasive interventions (dry needling) on the deep paraspinal muscles of the lumbar region (iliocostalis lumborum, longissimus thoracis, and multifidus) to reach the anatomical target. The accuracy of the interventions will be evaluated observationally with ultrasonography after the procedure.
