Abstract
Cupping is an ancient mode of therapy for various ailments, practiced and
recommended by ancient healers. This study was conducted to investigate the
effect of blood cupping on some biochemical parameters. Fourty peoples were
selected randomly between ages 20 to 70 years. Blood samples were collected
from World Center for Prophetic Medicine and Organization of Rawabh in
Khartoum State. The samples were collected from vein before and ten to fourteen
days after cupping of each individual for the analysis of biochemical parameters in
the period between February to May 2017. Plasma creatinine and uric acid levels
were measured by BS-380 chemistry analyzer and results were analyzed using
statistical package for social science (SPSS), computer programmed version 11.5.
The study showed that, the mean plasma levels of creatinine was significantly
decreased after cupping compared to the level before cupping (1.12±2.17
mmoL/L) (mean±SD:1.42±2.26 mmoL/L) respectively, with p.value (0.000). The
mean plasma levels of uric acid before cupping was significantly decreased after
cupping (mean±SD:4.33±1.74 mmoL/L) (3.36±1.58 mmoL /L) respectively, with
p.value (0.000). Also the finding of this study showed that blood preassure was
significantly decreased after cupping (mean±SD: 102.3±13.3 mmHg) (97.6±11.1
mmHg), with p.value (0.008).
Person correlation showed that, there was significant positive correlation between
creatinine level and uric acid level in pre and post (r=0.379 , p.value =0.016)
(r=0.399 , p.value =0.011) respectively.
The study concluded that , there were significant decreased in the plasma level of creatinine, uric acid and blood preassure in post cupping.
