These medical staffs are working in faculties of medicine of Cairo University and Al-Azhar University and the medical department of the National Research Center.It was concluded from this study that the knowledge about cupping between the medical staff is very low to the extent that more than (75%) had got a score of knowledge less than (50%). As regards their attitude towards cupping, less than 30% accept it as a method of treatment and cure. Only 1% of the studied group has been found practicing cupping to others. On the other hand more than 70% of the studied group encourages the introduction of cupping in the curriculum of faculty of medicine.
