“…Hacamattan önce ve hacamat seansından 10 gün sonra hastalardan alınan venöz kan örnekleri karşılaştırıldığında; hacamat seansından 10 gün sonra alınan örnekte serum MDA ve ferritin düzeyleri daha düşük bulunurken; total antioksidan durum (TAS) seviyesi daha yüksek bulunmuştur. 59 Sağlıklı gönüllüler üzerinde yapılan bir çalışmada ise 24 bireye 3 ay boyunca ayda 1 seans hacamat uygulanmış, ilk seans öncesinde ve son seanstan birkaç saat sonra venöz kan örnekleri ile ilk seans ve son seans esnasında hacamat kanı örnekleri alınmıştır. Yapılan biyokimyasal inceleme sonuçlarına göre; ilk seans esnasında alınan hacamat kanında oksidan parametrelerin [MDA ve total oksidan durum (TOS)] seviyesi en yüksek bulunurken; antioksidan parametrelerin [TAS, redükte glutatyon (GSH), SOD ve katalaz (CAT)] düzeyleri en düşük olarak tespit edilmiştir.…”

“…1 As an example of an IM remedy, Al-hijamah (wet cupping therapy in prophetic medicine) is usually more effective and has greater therapeutic benefits than many pharmaceutical preparations for treating many medical conditions such as pain conditions 2 and thalassemia. 3 The evidencebased Taibah mechanism and Al-hijamah have been confirmed to use a physiological clearance mechanism to clear tissues and blood of many pathological substances. 4 Teaching of complementary, alternative, Chinese, and prophetic medicines has received insufficient attention or interest among modern medical schools, particularly in the Middle East.…”

Objective To assess physicians' attitudes toward integrative medicine (IM), including prophetic medicine (PM), combining the best of modern medicine with the best of alternative and complementary medicine. Most physicians are unfamiliar with IM and PM and may thus be against them and it may communicate that to the public. Methods Taibah University (Saudi Arabia) is the sole university in the Arab world with an educational medical course in IM and PM. We assessed IM scientific knowledge and students’ feedback regarding course contents, course design, and teaching methods. A questionnaire was administered to medical students who attended the course. Results A total 650 students (264 men, 386 women) participated in the study; 83% considered the IM (including PM) education beneficial. Among them, 49.6% (range, 60% to 100%) reported that they gained medical benefit from studying IM, and 74% expressed strong positive attitudes toward studying IM. Among participants, 65.8% agreed with the current course topics, without the need to add or delete any topics; 95% of students were satisfied with IM and PM education. Students' interest in the branches of IM included all IM subspecialties. Conclusion IM and PM education should be globally generalized to all medical students, physicians, and health practitioners, particularly in Arabic universities.

“…Recently, Al-hijamah was reported to greatly excrete oxidant substances and significantly decrease total antioxidant capacity. 10 Al-hijamah (skin suction, scarification and suction, triple S treatment) is more comprehensive and effective with better tissue and serum clearance effects than traditional wet cupping therapy (skin scarification and suction, double S treatment). [6][7]10 In conclusion, Al-hijamah is a promising powerful treatment for CTS.…”

Herein, a 37-yearold male manual worker diagnosed with severe CTS exhibited severe pain with frequent awakening from night sleep to put hands in ice. Patient's consent and ethical guidelines were carried out. As a novel approach, Al-hijamah was performed to both hands at the anterior and posterior carpal regions (using scarification safety technique) and at the back region. Immediately after Al-hijamah, a dramatic decrease in pain, numbness and parathesia occurred. Nerve conduction velocity and electromyography carried out few days after Al-hijamah confirmed improved voluntary motor unit morphologies in both hands. The severe degree of bilateral CTS improved electrophysiologically to be moderate. Scheduled surgical intervention was cancelled. This did better Disclosure. The authors declare no conflicting interests, support or funding from any drug company.
