Abstract Aim: The aim of this study was to differentiate between the effect of cupping therapy and continuous aerobic exercise on lipid profile in hypertensive men. Patient:Thirty four volunteer men patients with primaryhypertension selected from outpatients Desouk general hospital.Their age ranged between 40-50 years, they were divided into two groups equal in number: group (A) attended a program of cupping therapy once per month for three months and group (B) attended a program of continuous aerobic exercise for 40-50 minutes, two times per week for three months. Result:The result can be used as a reference for the present study to show the efficacy of cupping therapy comparing to continuous aerobic exercise on lipid profile in hypertensive men. Whenever there is changing in the measurement of lipid profile and blood pressure of cupping therapy group. A major decrease in blood pressure and lipid profile parameters post treatment compared with that pre-treatment (p < 0.05) in both groups (A and B), but there was no major difference between both groups (A and B) in pre-treatment and also post treatment (p > 0.05).Conclusion: It gives the expected good effect of cupping therapy comparing to continuous aerobic exercise as an alternative treatment for patients who are bed ridden or can{u2019}t do aerobic exercise due to any health problems |
