Objectives: The main objective of this research of is to examine the opinion of physiotherapy students on the technique of treating pain - dry needling through general questions about the effects and benefits of the mentioned technique. Subjects and methods: A total of 85 subjects with an average age of 25.2 (SD = 6.02) years participated in the study, a total of 59 men and 26 women. By advanced search of the Hrčak portal and the PubMed database, the criteria are the works that correspond to the topic, the validity of the data and the integrity of the works. Statistical data processing was made in the SPSS Statistics program. Dependent variables were measured on an ordinal measuring scale and a non-parametric test, the Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare between groups by gender, level of education and employment status. Results: No statistically significant difference was found in opinions on the dry needling technique by gender or by employment status. Undergraduate respondents considerably more than graduate respondents: that dry needling helps in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions; in combination with other techniques it helps in the relief of pain associated with myofascial trigger points; the technique can affect the improvement of local circulation; muscle contractures and tension can be reduced, flexibility and range of motion can be improved; the nervous system is affected; the intervention is neglected in clinical practice, and the technique should be discussed more during education. Conclusion: Education should talk more about the effects and benefits of the technique because it greatly contributes to the development of myofascial pain treatment. Careful handling of the acupuncture needle, the work and experience of the therapist reduces all possible uncertainty and complications. Dry needling is by no means the same pain management technique as acupuncture.
