dc.description.abstractObjective: Wet cupping therapy is used as a traditional and complementary therapy with a wide application all around the world for especially pain conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of wet cupping therapy (WCT) and to assess the changes in lactic acid (LA) levels in isolated leucocyte of the venous and cupping blood samples in patients with myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). Material and Methods: Patients aged between 18 and 65, and diagnosed with MPS were included the study. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was recorded baseline, at 1st and 3rd months, Nothingham Health Profile (NHP) and Beck Depression Index (BDI) scores were recorded at baseline and 1st month follow-up in patients. The level of LA in isolated leucocyte of venous and cupping blood were also measured before and after 15 days WCT. Results:There was a significant decrease in VAS level from baseline to 1 and 3 months (p<0.001) and in BDI, NHP from baseline to 1 month (p <0.05). We found a significant decrease in the concentration of LA in isolated leucocyte of cupping blood 15 days after WCT (p<0.05). The median level of LA in isolated leucocyte of venous blood was lower than the levels before WCT but it wasn’t statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, WCT is found to be effective in clinical improvements of VAS, BDI and NHP scores in our study. This study also suggests that WCT may be beneficial for pain through reducing LA levels in cupping blood in patients with MPS.
