Abstract

Pain is most likely one of the most common symptomatic complaints. Despite advancements in therapy, many patients will continue to experience symptoms that are not adequately addressed by the conventional medicine provided. Patients frequently seek treatment outside of the usual scope of conventional medicine. Cupping is an alternative therapy that might be used to relieve pain. Although cupping has been used for thousands of years to treat pain and other disorders, its use has grown in popularity during the previous decades. Cupping therapy is being utilized all over the world for health promotion, prevention, and treatment of a variety of disorders. Doctors should understand the role of cupping as an alternative pain therapy in order to improve patient satisfactions.
