Abstract

Abstract:
Objective: This study investigated the effect of wet cupping therapy versus moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on inflammatory markers in diabetic patients.
Material and methods: Sixty diabetic males were selected from Deraya University Physical Therapy Center in Minya to participate in this study from March to August 2024. Their ages varied between 30 and 50 years. The individual was randomly assigned to two groups. Group A were given wet cupping therapy once per month for 2 months, and Group B were given aerobic exercises that involve walking on a treadmill machine, three sessions/week, for eight weeks. Serum interleukin 6 as well as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels were assessed prior to and following treatment for each group.
Results: The study's findings revealed a substantial reduction in serum interleukin 6 as well as (TNF-α) following treatment in both groups (p-value < 0.001). There was a substantial difference among both groups following treatment regarding interleukin 6 (95% CI where p-value < 0.001), as well as TNF-α (95% CI where p-value = 0.001) in favor of group A.
Conclusion: It can be concluded that wet cupping is an effective adjuvant therapy in decreasing inflammatory markers in diabetic patients more than moderate-intensity aerobic exercises.
