“… [16] What's more, CT relieved the symptoms, and relapse of neurodermatitis has been reported for a long time. [ 17 18 ] Not only that, but CT also obtained satisfactory results involving fibromyalgia syndrome, [19] migraine headache, [20] psoriasis Vulgaris, [21] chronic urticaria, [22] and others. Due to no systematic reviews concerning this topic, this study will evaluate the effectiveness and safety of CT for neurodermatitis according to the authoritative Cochrane recommendations.…”

Background: Neurodermatitis is a common inflammatory and allergic disease, characterized by itching and lichenification plaque. Some studies have reported cupping therapy (CT) for the treatment of neurodermatitis. However, the effectiveness and safety are still uncertain. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CT for the treatment of patients with neurodermatitis. Methods: We will retrieve the following electronic databases systematically: Pubmed, Web of Science, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Chinese Scientific Journal Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure Database, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and Wanfang database from their inception to December 2020. Other literature resources will be manually searched. Published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-randomized controlled trials (q-RCTs) on the topic will be retrieved by 2 investigators independently. We will apply a fixed-effect model or random effect model basis on the heterogeneity test and employ with RevMan 5.3 software for data synthesis. The total clinical effective rate will be selected as the primary outcome, skin disease quality of life index score, recurrence rate, and adverse events as secondary outcomes. Results: This study will comprehensively summarize the high-quality trials to determine the efficacy and safety of CT for the treatment of patients with neurodermatitis. Conclusion: Our systematic review will present evidence for the efficacy and safety of CT to neurodermatitis patients. OSF Registration number: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/6DCM3.

“…Similar findings were reported by Ersoy and Benli. [22] Their study involved patients undergoing monthly cupping sessions while receiving consistent amounts and types of migraine medications. Patients were divided into 2 groups: those discontinuing cupping after 3 sessions (control) and those continuing monthly cupping for 12 months (intervention).…”

“…[19] The literature extensively documents the usefulness and effectiveness of wet-cupping in alleviating physiological pain among migraine patients, as evidenced by specific studies. [20][21][22][23] A recent systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials affirmed the potential effectiveness of this procedure in treating migraines. [24] Individuals experiencing chronic or episodic migraines often endure unpleasant sensory and emotional experiences, commonly associated with psychosocial manifestations, including mental distress.…”

Background: There is growing evidence of the potential benefits of wet-cupping therapy in reducing physiological pain severity in migraine; however, the role of this therapy on mental pain is unclear in this process. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effectiveness of wet-cupping therapy on physiological and mental pains in patients with migraine. In this study, 72 migraine patients were treated with wet-cupping therapy and followed up after 1 month. Methods: The severity of physiological and mental pain was measured before therapy, 10 minutes and 1 month following therapy. Results: The study showed that patients in the wet-cupping therapy had a significantly lower mean value of physiological (0.42 vs 3.39; P < .001) and mental pain (1.60 vs 3.06; P < .001) compared to the patients in the control group, respectively. The mean value of the physiological was significantly decreased from 6.97 (baseline) to 0.73 (10 minutes) and 0.63 (1 month; P < .001) in the wet-cupping therapy patients, and the mean value of mental pain from 3.76 (baseline) to 0.71 (10 minutes) and 1.71 (1 month; P < .001). The mean values of physiological and mental pains were significantly reduced (from 7.80–3.39; P < .001) and (from 3.48–3.06; P = .0044), respectively. The level of physiological pain severity was significantly decreased with a decreasing level of mental pain severity at the posttest within the control (r = 0.5471; P = .0002) and the wet-cupping therapy (r = 0.3814; P .0412). Conclusion: This study showed that the physiological pain was controlled by the mental pain in the wet-cupping therapy.

“…Ersoy S et al, conducted a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of wet cupping therapy in migraine headache. The authors claimed that wet cupping therapy reduces pain and disability in migraine patients and that effectiveness increases as application continues 53 . Similarly, Seo J et al through his study concluded that cupping has potential therapeutic effects on treating migraine 54 .…”

Ilaj bi’l tadbeer (regimenal therapy) is one of the preferred treatment methods used in Unani system of medicine since ancient times. Ḥijāma is one of the effective modalities of treatment in Ilaj bi’l tadbeer. It is a unique therapeutic procedure in which cup like vessels are placed on the body surface by creating a vacuum to either let out blood from below the skin surface or just plain suction without bloodletting. The objective of this comprehensive review paper is to address the claims of Unāni physicians and clinical studies conducted on the efficacy of Ḥijāma. Various published clinical trials showed the efficacy of Ḥijāma in the management of a number of diseases. Though, the effect showed by some clinical trials was short term. Hence, it is suggested that rigorous, well-designed, controlled, randomized and long duration follow up clinical trials on large sample size are to be conducted by trained clinicians or researchers to establish the efficacy of Ḥijāma in the management of various diseases.
