Thank you! I did some research on the difference between the two and it seems there is a lot of controversy surrounding it. What is RTS? Is it musculoskeletal? I'm asking because I read that dry needling is mainly used for muscular pain as the needles go directly to the pain site, relieving the "knot" or spasm in the muscle. Trigeminal neuralgia is nerve pain with the injury site in the base of the brain. Does RTS involve nerve pain that is relieved by dry needling?
Thank you for your response! I really appreciate any insight you can provide.

Acupuncture has been helping with my trigeminal neuralgia pain. I also started cold laser therapy for my back.
