Abstract :

There are two methods in cupping therapy, they are dry cupping and wet cupping. Both methods are used to reduce pain; howeverthe effectiveness of each method has not known yet. The aims of this research were to compare the effectiveness in pain reliefbetween dry cupping therapy and wet cupping therapy and to find out the overview of macrophage, mast cell and lymphocyteactivity. This study was a randomized controlled trial post test only design. Thirty-two white rats obtained, Wistar type, weight 300 ±50 grams, age 3 months, divided into 4 groups. Group 1 (n = 8) consists normal rats, group 2 (n = 8) contains rats with inducedpain, group 3 (n = 8) consists rats with induced pain and dry cupping therapy while group 4 (n = 8) consists rats with induced painand wet cupping therapy. Pain variable was obtained by measuring pain threshold reaction time using hot plate. The amount ofmacrophage, mast cell and lymphocyte were measured with HE stain under the light microscope. Statistical analysis was usingoneway Anova with SPSS 17 device. Pain threshold reaction time in negative control group is 10.66 ± 2.71 secs, positive controlgroup 11.78 ± 3.58 secs, dry cupping therapy group 16.93 ± 3.63 secs and wet cupping therapy group 22.81 ± 6.34 secs. Wetcupping therapy reduce pain more than dry cupping therapy (p < 0,05) significantly. Therefore, wet cupping therapy is moreeffective than dry cupping therapy. Macrophage is the most dominant immune cell in wet cupping therapy. (FMI 2014;50:148-152)
