In 2019, Indra De Greef acquired a master’s degree in ‘Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Sciences’ at Ghent University, Belgium. Subsequently she obtained a postgraduate degree in manual therapy at the same university.
Since 2020 she has combined working in a clinical setting and working as a researcher at Ghent University, which evolved to a PhD trajectory in 2022 under the guidance of Prof. dr. Barbara Cagnie.
The overall focus of this PhD is to evaluate the effect and modalities of dry needling through different study designs. During her current clinical trial, the focus is placed on the additional effect of dry needling in people suffering from myofascial headache, a new (sub)type of headache recently proposed and defined by the International Headache Society (IHS).
