Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze whether the application of cupping therapy reduces low back pain in college students when applied statically to trigger points. A pre- and post-intervention clinical study was carried out at the Physiotherapy school clinic of the UNIFAFIBE Bebedouro-SP University Center, where ten university students of both genders aged between 20 and 25 years, who presented pain in two random trigger points were selected. located in the lumbar region. The university students were submitted to pain assessment using the visual analogue scale and pressure algometer tools. After the evaluation, cupping therapy was applied in eight five-minute sessions at both points simultaneously. After the treatment period, the university students underwent reassessment. The values obtained in this research were tabulated and analyzed by the SPSS software (version 22.0 for Windows) using the t test for paired samples (p≤0.05). The results obtained indicate a reduction in pain in trigger points after eight weeks of application, also contributing to increased blood circulation and tissue oxygenation. In view of the results, this study suggests that the cupping technique promotes a reduction in the pain of trigger points in the lumbar region in young university students.
