Abstract

The article focuses on a systematic review and meta-analysis assessing the effectiveness of cupping therapy for chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP). Conducted by researchers from Charite - University Medicine Berlin, the study found that cupping therapy significantly reduced pain intensity in CMP patients but did not improve functional disability or mental health. The research, supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, utilized data from various databases and included randomized control trials. The findings suggest that while cupping therapy may alleviate pain, it does not address other related issues effectively. [Extracted from the article]
