Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention Group
The type of cupping therapy will be dry-cupping with moving-cupping (dynamic cupping therapy). The participants will remain in the supine position on a massage table (Posturarte® Olympic), without inclination. Cupping therapy will be performed with a plastic suction cup (5.08 cm in diameter) (K.S. Choi Corp®) and with a pistol for dosing pumps (K.S. Choi Corp®). Prior to the cupping therapy, a small amount of massage cream (ATL®) will be applied throughout the median nerve pathway in order to facilitate the sliding of the suction cup. The cupping therapy will performed with the suction cup sliding with a slow rhythm, insufflation of the suction cup with two pumps for 5 minutes along the median nerve path.
