The quality of each included study was evaluated according to the Cochrane Systematic Assessor’s Manual evaluation criteria, while the Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4software.RESULTS: A total of 13 thirteen RCTs included a total of 1088 subjects. The visual analogue scale scores indicated that blood pricking and cupping was superior to the other treatments at relieving NLBP pain [mean difference(MD) =-1.43;95% confidence interval(CI):-2.31 to 0.54;Z = 3.15;P = 0.002). The Oswestry Disability Index score of blood pricking and cupping was superior to that of the control group in terms of improving NLBP dysfunction(MD =-6.25;95%CI:-8.37 to-4.31);Z = 5.77;P < 0.000 01). 7 RCTs mentioned no adverse reactions, while one study reported mild syncope [7%(n = 3), all in the 17-30 years group] that was gradually relieved after rest. CONCLUSIONS: Blood pricking and cupping therapy can safely and effectively reduce pain and improve functional impairment in patients with NLBP. However, this study included limited high-grade studies with a small overall sample size;therefore, further high-quality large-sample RCTs are needed to improve clinical evidence.展开更多

Methods： Thirty-seven patients with ache were randomly divided into a treatment group （treated by pricking bloodletting and cupping therapy combined with Chinese herbal mask） and a control group （only by Chinese herbal mask）. The therapeutic efficacy was observed after 2-course treatment. Results： The total effective rate in the treatment group was 94.7% versus 61.1% in the control group. According to the statistical management, the total effective rate in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group （P〈O.05）. Conclusion： Pricking bloodletting and cupping therapy combined with Chinese herbal mask therapy for acne is more effective than Chinese herbal mask treatment alone.展开更多

Methods： A rat model of migraine was made with nitroglycerol. The rats were treated by pricking blood. Rat behavior was observed. Brainstem c-fos and c-jun gene expression was examined by immunohistochemistry. Results： Ear redness improved significantly, the number of head scratchings decreased obviously （P〈0.05） and c-fos and c-jun expression was reduced markedly （P〈0.01） in the treatment group after pricking blood compared with the model group and the blank group. Conclusion： Pricking blood treatment can improve behavior indices and reduce c-fos and c-jun positive expression in migraine rats.展开更多

Main points Tanzhong (CV 17), Quchi (LI 11) and Jiaji (EX-B 2) were punctured, supplemented with other acupoints according to the concrete symptoms and signs and TDP irradiation for 30 min. For example, in the treatment of mastitis patients with high fever, bilateral Hegu (LI 4) and Taichong (LR 3) were punctured in combination with pricking blood and cupping methods. After 1-10 sessions of treatment (once daily), all the 600 cases were effective, with 510 cases (85%) being cured, 83 cases (13.8%) remarkably effective, and with 7 cases (1.2%) effective.展开更多

Methods： Fifty-three cases with herpes zoster were randomly divided into two groups. Thirty-one cases in the treatment group were treated with EA at Jiaji （EX-B 2） points plus local collateral-pricking and cupping therapy. Twenty-two cases in the control group were treated with oral administration of VaLacido~;ir Hvdrochloride and Indomethaci~. Results： The curative and remarkable effective rate was 93.5% in the treatment group and 72.7% in the control group. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant （P〈0.01）, indicating that EA plus collateral-pricking and cupping therapy is better than Western medications in the clinical effects for herpes zoster. Conclusion： The EA plus collateral-pricking and cupping method is an effective therapy for herpes zoster.展开更多

Methods: A total of 70 patients with chronic urticaria were treated with acupuncture, bloodletting after pricking and cupping [on Shenque (CV 8)]. The changes of signs and symptoms were observed before and after treatment. The therapeutic efficacy was then assessed according to the change rate of clinical symptoms scoring. Results: After treatment, 11 of the 70 cases got basic recovery, 21 cases got marked effectiveness, 27 cases got improvement and 11 cases got no effect. The total effective rate was 84.3%. There was statistical significance in symptoms score between before and after treatment (P<0.01). Conclusion: Combining acupuncture, bloodletting after pricking and cupping on Shenque (CV 8) is effective for chronic urticaria.展开更多
