The year 2009 represents the launch of the torch of scientific research and studies on cupping, after there were hesitant trends shyly, and others attacking ignorance or rejection of anything related to heritage, especially Islamic, and the methodological strong launch came this time from non-Muslims, who do not take a position except on the basis of scientific, so they do not reject a matter, but rather research it, and subject it to science. To get the most benefit from it.
Foreign studies have witnessed studies aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of cupping in treatment, and began to treat joint pain, and when the effectiveness of cupping in this matter was proven, studies and research continued in Germany, China, Korea and Iran, and of course some Arab countries followed, and reports that suggest cupping mechanisms in treatment and the extent of their physiological effects. The PubMed website even published these studies; Because of its importance and abundance, it can be found through the site referred to.
The conclusion of what foreign researchers have concluded in their scientific systematic studies is that cupping therapy has proven to be more effective than modern medicine, without any side effects, in treating lower back, neck, shoulder and knee pain, and that it was characterized by the speed of treatment, its safety, simplicity and patient satisfaction with it, after they touched the results, and found Cupping does not cause them any complications or counter effects, as modern medicine does.
On the other hand, most Arab countries – except for those on whom my Lord has mercy – are still hesitating between accepting shyly, and refraining from using cupping, and rejecting it; With the justification that it is reactionary or that research and studies are insufficient, and they dressed their words in a false scientific dress, which reveals their lack of follow-up on what is happening in the world of scientific development, by saying that science is still ignorant of the mechanism by which the effectiveness of cupping occurs, although many studies have clarified this The mechanism, and even just searching on the Internet opens countless sites for you, explaining very simply the mechanism of cupping treatment and its effectiveness, but they were satisfied with throwing cupping on false accusations, such as sorcery, charlatanism, and backwardness … to the end of that accusation in circulation.
Their stubbornness is a serious harm to patients, especially since modern medicine is powerless in the face of many diseases. In fact, it is sometimes unable to know the cause of the disease or pain, and it is sufficient to give medicines, some of which are more harmful than relieving pain, such as medicines for chronic pain associated with rheumatism, which many of them did not work. So far in relieving pain, how about treating it?! With the intake of these analgesic and anti-rheumatic drugs, the disaster comes in the side effects they leave; To increase the pain of the patient.
