New Trials Support the Effectiveness of Cupping Therapy

New Trials Support the Effectiveness of Cupping Therapy

There are many published clinical trials and scientific papers in 2009 about the effectiveness of cupping therapy. Three papers from Germany, South Korea and Iran support the use of cupping therapy and give new scientific evidence to this old therapy.

What is cupping therapy?

Cupping therapy is one of the oldest natural healing therapies in the world, and was a very popular therapy for more than 2500 years. Cupping therapy was used by all civilizations around the world, including the Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Chinese. It is one of the corner stones of Traditional Chinese Medicine. There are many types of cupping therapy. Wet cupping, herbal cupping, dry cupping and massage cupping are examples of cupping therapy types.

Cupping therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome

The first trial was a German study, published in the Journal of Pain in 2009. The researchers investigated the effect of the cupping therapy as a treatment for the carpal tunnel syndrome. There were 52 participants in this trial. The patients were randomly assigned to either a treatment group or a control group. The treatment group experienced pain relief and a decrease in other symptoms. The researchers concluded that "Cupping therapy may be effective in relieving the pain and other symptoms related to CTS (carpal tunnel syndrome)."1.

Cupping therapy for pain

The second trial was a South Korean study, published in the Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medicine in 2009. The researchers searched 14 medical databases. Cupping therapy trials investigating a pain condition were included. Trials investigating unproven therapy or combining cupping with unproven therapy were excluded. The researchers found seven randomized clinical trials that met the previous inclusion criteria. The researchers concluded that "The results of our systemic review provide some suggestive evidence for the effectiveness of cupping in the management of pain conditions."2.

Cupping therapy for low back pain

The third trial was an Iranian study, published in the Complementary Medicine in Therapies Journal. The researchers investigated the effectiveness of wet cupping therapy for the treatment of nonspecific low back pain. The researchers concluded that "Wet-cupping is associated with greater short- term clinical benefit than usual care. No adverse effects were reported."3.

Conclusion

Cupping therapy is a good natural treatment with a promising effect for many diseases. It is used successfully to treat all types of pain. More randomized controlled trials are needed to assess its effectiveness in other diseases. Please, consult a health care professional before using any type of alternative or complementary medicine therapies.

THE EFFECT OF CUPPING THERAPY TO DECREASE BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL OF PATIENT’S HYPERTENSION IN AN-NAHL CLINIC OF PURWOKERTO

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is silence killer disease number one in the world and can be effected to strocke , coronary heart desease and the other complication like diabetes melllitus. So hypertension must be treated immediately. The cure of hypertension today used farmaclogic drugs which cause side effects. So it’s need to find new method to solve this problem especially cupping therapy.

Result: The average of blood glucose level before cupping therapy, after cupping therapy and cupping blood glucose level are 18,43; 105,23 and 92,90 respectively. Based on the t-test analysis for the effect cupping therapy to blood glucose level between before and after cupping therapy, found that t value was 3,10 (P=0,004) therefore p value less than α (5 %) or 0,05 which mean cupping therapy has an effect to blood glucose level. The effect cupping therapy to blood glucose level between before cupping therapy and blood cupping, found that t value was 2,78 (P=0,007) there for p value less then α (5 %) or 0,05 it’s mean have the diffrent significantly.

Conclusion: Cupping therapy has an effect to blood glucose level for hypertension patient in An-Nahl Clinic of Purwokerto.

Method : This study used pre experimental study with one-group pre-post test design without control group. Purposive sampling was applied to choose a sample. Paired t test statistical analysis was used to analize the data.
Result : The average of proteinuria and urobilinogen level before and after cupping therapy were 1,60; 1,10 and 1,10; 0,633 respectively. T-test analysis for the effect cupping therapy to proteinuria and urobilinogen level were 4,785 (p= 0,0001) and 4,065 (p= 0,000) respectively. Therefore, p value less than α (5%) which mean cupping therapy have an effect to proteinuria and urobilinogen.
