Trigger pain points are commonly found on the trunk, especially in the neck and shoulders. Dry needling is an effective treatment option in musculoskeletal pain caused by trigger pain points. ⋯ Although it is an infrequent adverse event, healthcare professionals should be aware of reflex anoxic seizure, which could be triggered by dry needling, and therefore always perform this procedure with adequate first aid facilities available on site.
