Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Dry needling and Fascial Manipulation   DRY NEEDLING: Directly behind the trigger points near the knee joint, a headless needle will be placed. The guide tube will be taken out after the MTrp has been found between the subdominant hands fingers. The dominant hand’s first and second metacarpophalangeal fingers will be used to probe the area in various directions until at least one local twitch response, a local pain response, and usually the referral pain pattern of MTrP are acquired FASCIAL MANIPULATION: A defined assessment technique will be undertaken, FM refers to this as movement and palpation verification. In order to identify the most uncomfortable and impaired movement, as well as to highlight the myofascial units that are impacted, movement verifications will be carried out in three spatial planes. The severity of the patient’s symptoms or functional impairment for the knee segment under investigation will be described in the chart. Palpation verification, or verifying the gliding of the fascial tissue, is performed on the knee, hip, foot, leg, and pelvis of the chosen myofascial segments talus, pes, genu, and pelvis in that knee to identify which center of coordination [CC] is densified and painful and those referring pain to the symptomatic area as reported by the patient Treatment will be given once a week for four weeks Post treatment assessment will be done after 4 weeks, follow up will be taken on 3 month and 6 months.

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   After submitting informed consent, criteria for inclusion and exclusion are checked, patients who meet inclusion criteria, pre intervention outcome measure assessment will be measured using WOMAC, NPRS, Range of Motion, PPT, TAMPA Scale, Pain- self efficacy scale and CSI will be measured as screening tool. After assessing knee OA with central sensitization dry needling and fascial manipulation will be given to subjects once a week for four weeks. Post treatment assessment will be done after 4 weeks, follow up will be taken on 3 month and 6 months.
