Objectives :This study was designed to compare wet cupping with dry cupping on acute cervical and lumbar sprain patients by traffic accident.
Methods :This study was carried out on the 90(dropout=5) acute cervical and lumbar sprain patients by traffic accident. We divided these patients into 2 groups. Group A was treated with the dry cupping and Group B was treated with the wet cupping once a day for five days. All patients were treated with acupuncture, physical therapy and herbal medicine along with two types of cupping therapy. We measured visual analogue scale(VAS), neck disability index(NDI), Oswestry disability index(ODI) twice(pre-treatment(Tx.) and post-Tx.) and conducted satisfaction questionnaire after treatment.
Results :1. The VAS score, NDI score, ODI score were statistically decreased after treatment in all patients. 2. The VAS score for nuchal pain of females, low back pain of 40 to 50s patients, overweight and normal weight in Group B was statistically lower than those of Group A after treatment. 3. Two types of cupping therapy received a favorable evaluation from each group in satisfaction questionnaire. Especially, Group B showed a higher percentage in excellent and improved items than Group A did.
Conclusions :In this study, Two types of cupping therapy were highly effective on acute cervical and lumbar sprain patients. But wet cupping was more effective than dry cupping in reducing the initial pain. And wet cupping was more effective in female, 4~50s patients.
