Abstract
To preliminarily observe the effects of cupping on localized skin temperature of patients with back pain.A total of 43 patients with back pain were included in this study. They were treated with medium-sized cups with a volume of 260 mL. The randomly selected Xinshu ( BL 15) on one side (37 cases) was given cupping treatment while that on the other side as the control. And Shenshu ( BL 23) (6 cases) was treated in the same way. The thermal infrared imager was used to record the changes in localized skin temperature before and after cupping (for 10 minutes), and then comparison was made with that of the control side.
