BACKGROUND Although cupping remains a popular treatment modality worldwide, its efficacy for most diseases, including hypertension, has not been scientifically evaluated. OBJECTIVE We aimed to determine the efficacy of wet-cupping for high blood pressure, and the incidence of the procedure's side effects in the intervention group. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTIONS This is a ra...

BACKGROUND: Wet cupping is a non-pharmacological therapy that has been shown to assist hypertensive patients with blood pressure reduction. However, the underlying mechanisms by which wet-cupping lowers are currently unknown. More scientific investigation necessary explain mechanism wet pressure, particularly role of nitric oxide (NO). AIM: The study aimed show effect on NO levels in patients. ...

The density of biochemical factors of blood in wet cupping is statistically different from phlebotomy In summary we have cupped 40 volunteers and at the same time we sampled their venous blood. Then wet cupping and venous samples were sent to the lab for comparing blood triglyceride, cholesterol, sugar, urea, uric acid and creatinine factors. The results show that there are significant differen...

BACKGROUND Since 1950, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) cupping therapy has been applied as a formal modality in hospitals throughout China and elsewhere in the world. Based on a previous systematic literature review of clinical studies on cupping therapy, this study presents a thorough review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to evaluate the therapeutic effect of cupping therapy. METH...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of wet cupping therapy as a single treatment for persistent nonspecific low back pain (PNSLBP). DESIGN Randomized controlled trial comparing wet cupping versus no treatment in PNSLBP. SETTING Outpatient clinic in three secondary care hospitals in Saudi Arabia. PATIENTS Eighty eligible participants with PNSLBP for at least 3 months were r...

BACKGROUND Diabetes is known as one of the most common diseases in the world and its treatment is one of the most important healthcare issues. Consequently, different treatment methods of complementary medicine and recent medicine have been used by scientific communities to control and predict the disease. This article considered the effects of dry cupping and wet cupping, based on traditional ...
