Wet Cupping
One armed self-controlled study. Individuals in this arm will receive three concecutive WCT application
Wet Cupping
CT was applied using plastic disposable vacuum cups on the back in the 5 areas of C7 cervical spine (DU14 acupoint), T2-4 lateral spine bilaterally (BL41-42 acupoint) and T6-8 lateral spine bilaterally (BL44-46), which are the recommended sites for headache (12). The cupping technique procedure was conducted in five phases:Primary suction,Area disinfection,Scarification,Secondary suction and bloodletting,Removing and dressing.
