Effects Of Vacuum Controlled Static Versus Vacuum Controlled Dynamic Dry Cupping On Pain, Range Of Motion And Disability Among Patients With Chronic Low Back Pain
Sponsor: Lahore University of Biological and Applied Sciences
Summary
This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the effects of vacuum-controlled static dry cupping and vacuum-controlled dynamic dry cupping on pain intensity, lumbar range of motion, and functional disability in patients with chronic low back pain. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups receiving either static or dynamic dry cupping along with conventional treatment. The outcomes will be assessed to determine which cupping technique is more effective in improving pain, mobility, and functional ability in individuals with chronic low back pain. \[Time Frame: Measured at baseline (pre-intervention) and after 6 weeks (post-intervention completion).

Conditions
Interventions
Vacuum-Controlled Static Dry Cupping
Vacuum-controlled static dry cupping will be applied to the lumbar region of patients with chronic low back pain. Cups will be placed on the affected area and kept stationary for approximately 10 minutes to create negative pressure, aiming to improve blood circulation, reduce pain, and relieve muscle tension.
Vacuum-Controlled Dynamic Dry Cupping
Vacuum-controlled dynamic dry cupping will be applied to the lumbar region. After creating negative pressure, the cups will be gently moved over the skin to mobilize soft tissues, enhance circulation, reduce pain, and improve lumbar mobility in patients with chronic low back pain.
