Can suction cups soothe sore muscles? study investigates

NCT ID NCT06900556

Summary

This study tested whether a therapy called dry cupping helps muscles recover faster after a hard workout. Ten young adults did a tough arm exercise, then had cupping with suction on one arm and fake cupping without suction on the other. Researchers measured their muscle strength, swelling, and soreness for three days to see if the real cupping made a difference.
