dc.description.abstractPurpose: The effectiveness of active dry cupping of the upper shoulder and neck to alleviate pain caused by office workers will be investigated. Methods: This randomized, parallel-group trial compared the effectiveness and safety of dry moving cupping therapy for office workers whose neck pain had persisted at least 5 weeks. Those randomized to cupping received up to 10 dry moving cupping therapy sessions over a 5 week period. The study was completed with 40 healthy women subjects who worked at one univeristy in Turkey, with 20 as control and 20 as the study group. Results: Participants mean score of pain on neck was 5.55 (SD:0.57) for pre-test and 2.7 (SD:0.27) for post-test. The decrease of score of pain between pre- and post-test was statistically significant (t=10.14, p=0.002). In the control group there was no significant change in pain score in the statistical significant (t=0.326, p=0.748). Conclusions: Cupping therapy is a non-invasive and harmless therapeutic application and it can be confidently used to reduce the upper shoulder and neck pain in office. It should be considered for all musculoskeletal pain conditions as a complementto medical treatment.
