Summary

Shoulder pain is the most common musculoskeletal problem after spine and knee complaints. Rotator cuff injuries (RCI) are the most common cause of shoulder pain. RCI includes a wide spectrum from subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) to chronic tendinopathy, partial and total ruptures of the rotator cuff. In recent years there has been a renewed interest in traditional and complementary medicine (TCM) for various musculoskeletal problems. Cupping therapy, which is one of the most commonly used TCM methods, is one of the oldest medical applications with thousands of years of history. Although it is thought to be effective in many diseases, there are not enough studies in the literature about its effectiveness and mechanism of action. Our aim in this study is to investigate the effects of moving dry cupping therapy on pain, range of motion (ROM), functionality and quality of life in RCI.
