Abstract

Introduction: Cupping therapy is a skin vacuuming method for releasing accumulated toxins and oxidants in the body. Cupping therapy is believed as a treatment for several diseases such as hypertension, migraine, carpal tunnel syndrome, and it also takes part in stroke rehabilitation treatment. Based on Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ‘s hadith, the best time for doing cupping therapy is after the full moon phase, which is 17th, 19th, and 21st in the Islamic calendar or called sunnah dates. Aim: This study aims to compare cupping therapy’s efficacy on vital signs in sunnah and non-sunnah dates. Method: This study used a quantitative method with a quasi-experiment approach. Thirty adults (18-56 years old) participated in this study without any cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and contraindication for cupping. There were two groups (15 participants each): the sunnah group undergoing wet cupping on the 17th, 19th, and 21st, and the non-sunnah group undergoing wet-cupping on the 18th, 20th, and 22nd of the Islamic Calendar. Result: The result showed a significant difference between the sunnah and non-sunnah groups for the diastole group (P=0.00). However, there were no significant differences for systole (P=0.65), heart rate (P=0.77), respiratory rate (P=0.13), and temperature (P=0.51). Conclusion: There are potential differences in cupping therapy’s efficacy on vital signs between sunnah and non-sunnah dates. Future research needs to study more with patients as participants and a greater sample size.
