Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a single session of real versus placebo cupping therapy for patients with chronic low back pain, measuring pain intensity, functional ability, and skin temperature.
- Results indicated that real cupping therapy significantly reduced pain and disability as measured by the Brief Pain Inventory and Roland-Morris disability questionnaire, but showed no impact on pressure pain threshold or skin temperature.
- Overall, the findings suggest that cupping therapy can effectively alleviate low back pain and improve function, but the benefits do not extend to changes in sensory thresholds or skin temperature.
