The subjects were randomly assigned to either Cupping Therapy or Acupuncture group. Randomization was done using the online random number generating tool at the website – www. random.org. Each random number was carefully concealed by the principle investigator, not permitted to unfold until eligible patients were included in this trial with written informed consent. After a patient was enrolled in the trial, the researcher requested patient to open one of the concealed envelopes to further assign to either Cupping Therapy or Acupuncture group. Patients were not blind to the intervention. This study was conducted in the Out patient Department of Govt. Yoga and Naturopathy Medical college and Hospital, Arumbakkam, Chennai. After screening for eligibility sixty subjects were recruited for the study and are randomly assigned to two groups i.e., Cupping Therapy Group (CTG), n=30 and Acupuncture Group (AG), n=30. The subjects in CTG received Dry Cupping therapy on SI.15 (Jianzhongshu), GB.21 (Chienching), SI.9 (Chiencheng) acupuncture points, whereas the subjects in AG received Acupuncture at St.38 (Tiaokou) Acupuncture point.
