Something is wrong here[edit]

Your first reference is not a meta-analysis, as you have stated, @OnlySortaDumb. Your second reference supports the use of dry needling and is indeed a meta-analysis, but perhaps the only one on the subject. Bongolian (talk) 07:29, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

Ref 1 Effects of dry needling trigger point therapy in the shoulder region on patients with upper extremity pain and dysfunction: a systematic review with meta-analysis
Ref 2 Effectiveness of Dry Needling for Upper-Quarter Myofascial Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Ref 3 Is dry needling effective for low back pain?: A systematic review and PRISMA-compliant meta-analysis.
