dc.description.abstractPurpose: Wet cupping (hijamah) therapy relieves the pain and relaxes the body. The research team aimed to examine the efficacy of wet cupping therapy on the sleep quality parameters in a healthy population. Methods: Participants were seventy-five healthy subjects (50 women, 25 men, median age = 29.61 years, SD = 8.92). Wet cupping was applied by a cupping practitioner. The assessment of the sleep quality parameters by Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index Inventory was applied one hour before and one month after wet cupping therapy. Results: All sleep quality parameters were positively affected after wet cupping therapy in healthy subjects. Conclusions: Wet cupping therapy should be considered as a complementary therapy method for people with sleep problems.
