There is growing evidence of the potential benefits of wet-cupping therapy in reducing physiological pain severity in migraine; however, the role of this therapy on mental pain is unclear in this process. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effectiveness of wet-cupping therapy on physiological and mental pains in patients with migraine. In this study, 72 migraine patients were treated with wet-cupping therapy and followed up after 1 month.
The severity of physiological and mental pain was measured before therapy, 10 minutes and 1 month following therapy.
The study showed that patients in the wet-cupping therapy had a significantly lower mean value of physiological (0.42 vs 3.39; P < .001) and mental pain (1.60 vs 3.06; P < .001) compared to the patients in the control group, respectively. The mean value of the physiological was significantly decreased from 6.97 (baseline) to 0.73 (10 minutes) and 0.63 (1 month; P < .001) in the wet-cupping therapy patients, and the mean value of mental pain from 3.76 (baseline) to 0.71 (10 minutes) and 1.71 (1 month; P < .001). The mean values of physiological and mental pains were significantly reduced (from 7.80-3.39; P < .001) and (from 3.48-3.06; P = .0044), respectively. The level of physiological pain severity was significantly decreased with a decreasing level of mental pain severity at the posttest within the control (r = 0.5471; P = .0002) and the wet-cupping therapy (r = 0.3814; P .0412).
This study showed that the physiological pain was controlled by the mental pain in the wet-cupping therapy.
越来越多的证据表明，湿拔罐疗法在减轻偏头痛患者生理疼痛严重程度方面具有潜在益处；然而，在这个过程中，这种疗法对心理疼痛的作用尚不清楚。因此，本研究旨在探讨湿拔罐疗法对偏头痛患者生理和心理疼痛的疗效。在这项研究中，72 名偏头痛患者接受了湿拔罐疗法治疗，并在 1 个月后进行了随访。
在治疗前、治疗后 10 分钟和 1 个月时，测量患者生理和心理疼痛的严重程度。
研究表明，湿拔罐疗法组患者的生理疼痛（0.42 对 3.39；P<0.001）和心理疼痛（1.60 对 3.06；P<0.001）的平均数值明显低于对照组患者。湿拔罐疗法组患者的生理疼痛平均数值从治疗前的 6.97 分（基线）显著降低至治疗后 10 分钟的 0.73 分和 1 个月时的 0.63 分（P<0.001），心理疼痛平均数值从 3.76 分（基线）显著降低至治疗后 10 分钟的 0.71 分和 1 个月时的 1.71 分（P<0.001）。生理和心理疼痛的平均数值均显著降低（从 7.80 分降至 3.39 分；P<0.001）和（从 3.48 分降至 3.06 分；P=0.0044）。在对照组（r=0.5471；P=0.0002）和湿拔罐疗法组（r=0.3814；P<0.0412）中，生理疼痛严重程度的水平随着心理疼痛严重程度的降低而显著降低。
本研究表明，湿拔罐疗法通过心理疼痛来控制生理疼痛。
