Title : Treatment with Pneumo massage-cupping as evidence-based medicine therapy

Abstract:

Guided by the experience over the centuries, shared through Internet communication, and the use of medical databases, I will create a habit for you to use alternative methods according to scientific experiences, indications, contraindications and scientifically guided evaluations of their effectiveness. Venuses have been traditionally used by many peoples around the world for more than 2 millennia. The development of technology today replaces the classic glass cups with plastic ones, although they are also used. The cupping is applied in a modern way, while the bloodletting treatment requires strictly aseptic conditions. There are papers that confirm the effect of this method on pain, limitations in movement, improvement of circulation and reduction of blood pressure. There are also the papers that precisely defined the contraindications, which are mainly the same as those we use in conventional medicine when applying heat, namely blood diseases, tendency to bleed, venous thrombosis and acute specific diseases. Cupping is traditionally used in our spaces, and the fact that conventional medicine accepts them is encouraging. is worth mentioning that PM manual therapies may have great potential for being applied as immediate interventions under urgent conditions of urticaria and angioedema to increase the survival and recovery rate in patients. Future experimental and clinical efforts could be spent on PM research and then applied in emergency medicine. As a general conclusion, we would state that the application of cups increases the local circulation at the application site by raising the temperature. The effects have a prolonged effect on pain, and wet bandages can be used in urgent anaphylaxis conditions when medical treatment is difficult or impossible, but also in chronic allergic conditions. As an alternative method, it can be used by knowing the exact contraindications for its application, looking at each patient individually.
