“…31 Also the study shown that HDL levels was improved while levels of total cholesterol, LDL was reduced after cupping therapy as compare to before cupping. 32,33 The level of PT and APTT shows significantly decrease after cupping. Also, our study shows that there are significant changes in some hematological parameters such as RBCs, WBCs, HB and Platelets.…”

Background: The word Hijama is derived from Arabic means to suckle and restore to normal state of internal equilibrium. Cupping therapy is one of the alternative and conventional therapies, which have significant association and beneficial in some clinical conditions such as Lower back pain, neck and shoulder pain, headache and migraine, knee pain and hypertension. The aim was to determine biochemical and hematological parameters in before and after cupping therapy. Method: A comparative cross-sectional study was carried out at MLT lab of the CUSIT Peshawar from January 2023 to September 2023. A total 210 Convenient Samples collected from different Hijama center in district Peshawar. SPSS Paired T Test were used for statistical analysis. Results: Statistically positive changes in biochemical parameters such as ALT, ALP, SBR, Uric acid, Cholesterol, Triglyceride HDL, LDL and VLDL. Biochemical parameters including Total protein, Urea and Creatinine not statistically significant in cupping therapy. Where, hematological parameters such as White blood cell count, Red Blood cells count, Hemoglobin Level, Platelets count and coagulation cascade were found significantly in cupping therapy. Conclusion: This study concluded that the cupping therapy have positive impact on biochemical and hematological parameters. This study recommend that cupping therapy is good in certain health condition such as pain reduction, Muscle relaxation, improve blood circulation and activation of the immune system.

“…Several contraindications prevent people from doing wet cupping which includes dry or cracked skin, hypotension, open wounds, high fever and pregnancy (for women). While few people believe that wet cupping can cause anemia, several reports showed that cupping is safe for anemic patients and does not cause anemia [12,13].…”

Background: Modern medicine, despite its great advances, still not as effective as cupping therapy in treating many medical conditions. Objective: To assess the level of awareness and the general perceptions about cupping therapy (Hijama) in the Saudi population. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among 1120 adult subjects (473 males and 647 females), during the period from January to March 2020. Participants responded to an anonymous self-administered questionnaire requesting information about their knowledge, attitude, and perceptions of cupping therapy. The data collected from 1120 questionnaires were analyzed using appropriate statistical methods in two stages (descriptive analysis - analysis of the study hypotheses). The frequencies and percentages of the descriptive analysis and the primary data of the study sample were calculated and the responses of its members to the questions included in the questionnaire were determined. The study hypotheses were analyzed using the chi-squared test to study the independence of the variables under study. The analysis was done using (IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0) software. Results: About 32% of the participants underwent cupping before and the majority of them performed wet cupping (82.2%) and felt light pain (55.6%). Almost 60% of all participants were afraid of cupping and this fear was mainly from the injury (37%). The percentage of those who prefer to donate their blood was 72% while only 28% choose to perform cupping. There were statistically significant relationships between the gender of the participants and cupping procedure (p=0.003), fear of performing it (p<0.001) and preference for cupping over donating blood (p=0.002). Similarly, there were statistically significant relationships (p<0.001) between the age of the participants and cupping procedure, fear of performing it and preference for cupping over donating blood. Conclusion: This study showed the high knowledge, attitudes and perception of the Saudi population towards wet cupping therapy. Importantly, most of the surveyed population, especially younger ones, choose to donate their blood rather than performing wet cupping. Further research is needed to establish a collaboration platform between wet cupping clinics and blood banks to fill the gap of frequent shortage of blood units.

“…The blood amount due to the conduct of a correctly performed blood cupping therapy does not reduce hemoglobin. (5) We have understood that high levels of total blood cholesterol, especially in the form of LDL cholesterol, are a major risk factor for developing coronary heart diseases. (6) Some patients who receive LDL cholesterol reduction therapy still have complaints of coronary heart disease.…”

Introduction: Hypercholesterol is a high cholesterol level in the blood. Blood cupping therapy is a technique of excreting metabolic waste in the blood through the skin. The study aimed to measure any effect of blood cupping therapy to HDL and LDL cholesterol. Method: It was a Quasi-Experimental study using humans as research subjects. Non random consecutive sampling. Patiens with hypercholesterol after 12 hours of fasting were treated with blood cupping, 9 points. Research subjects were 51 men divided into three groups, the cupping group only consisted of 17 men, the drug group without cupping consisted of 17 men, and the cupping and drug consisted 17 men. Collecting data from third of the groups as pre and post data. The data were analyzed by Mann Whitney, Wilcoxon and Kruskal Wallis. The research took place at the Laboratory of Biochemistry, Universitas Jember. Results: Measurement of HDL cholesterol on the cupping group was pretest=33.03±3.73; posttest=37.58±6.54; p=0.000. The drug group was pretest=33.40±3.18; posttest=33.56±3.50; p=0.788. The cupping and drug group was pretest=34.32±3.38; posttest=37.61±2.01; p=0.002. Kruskal Wallis test on pretest group was 0.534 and on posttest group was 0.002. Measurement of LDL cholesterol on the cupping group was pretest=154.70±39.68; posttest=123.89±41.86; p=0.000. The drug group was pretest=151.24±44.17; posttest=151.24±44.17; p=0.019. The cupping and drug group was pretest=147.48±62.66; posttest=105.57±57.94; p=0.001. Kruskal Wallis test on pretest group was 0.439 and on posttest group was 0.082. This means that there was no difference in the average pretest and posttest LDL levels in the cupping, drug, cupping and drug groups. Conclusion: The intervention of blood cupping therapy can increase HDL cholesterol level, and reduce LDL cholesterol level. Further research needs to be done to measure the potential prevention of atherosclerosis.
