The ultrasound-guided percutaneous neuromodulation technique is defined as electrical stimulation through a needle with ultrasound guidance of a peripheral nerve at some point in its course or of a muscle at a motor point with a therapeutic objective. (Valera & Minaya, 2016).
The application is based on stimulation with a puncture needle associated with a low or medium frequency electrical current seeking a sensory and/or motor response by stimulating the peripheral nerve and achieving a motor response by stimulating the motor point (Valera & Minaya, 2016)

Dry needling is the use of puncture without the injection of substances in the treatment of myofascial trigger points. Dry needling is an innovative physiotherapeutic technique that uses acupuncture needles to treat certain ailments, especially myofascial pain syndrome, but its similarity to acupuncture ends here, these two techniques should not be confused. It is defined as a semi-invasive technique because the needles penetrate the skin in search of the trigger point -causing myofascial pain- to press it, deactivate it and end the pain. To find it, the stimulation - compression, contraction, stretching, etc. - of the muscle is vital, since if pain occurs this suggests that there is a trigger point. The needle can be considered an extension of the physiotherapist's fingers, one more palpatory technique, thanks to the "rod" effect: the needle makes it possible to appreciate the changes in the firmness of the crossed tissues
