dc.description.abstractFibromyalgia holds significant importance in both primary care and physical treatment settings dueto its high prevalence and the challenges associated with its diagnosis and management. This studyaims to assess the short-term efficacy of a wet-cupping therapy session in alleviating symptoms ofFibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS). This study employed a prospective, single-arm intervention design.Baseline and post-treatment evaluations encompassed a comprehensive battery of assessment tools:Socio-Demographic Questionary, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Pain, Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), BeckDepression Scale (BDS), Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ). A total of 20 eligible individualswere enrolled in the study. Significant alterations in pain perception, as measured by the VAS, wereevident both prior to treatment and at the end of the first week of treatment (p < 0.001).Additionally, significant favorable effects of the treatment were observed on FSS and BDS levelsduring the initial week of therapy (p = 0.001, p = 0.01; respectively). Moreover, a markedimprovement was identified in FIQ scores after treatment compared to baseline (p < 0.001). Acrossall evaluated clinical indicators, cupping therapy exhibited a significant positive influence on FMS. Inconclusion, wet cupping therapy yields favorable outcomes in terms of pain perception, fatiguereduction, mood enhancement, and the overall impact of fibromyalgia syndrome. Thus, it offers apromising avenue for therapeutic intervention among individuals afflicted by this condition.
