Acute HRV rise after wet cupping in healthy adults is hypothesis-generating; leaves open effects in patients or on outcomes.
Does classic wet cupping therapy improve heart rate variability in healthy participants?
Wet cupping therapy may acutely improve sympathovagal balance by increasing heart rate variability in healthy individuals.
Arslan et al. (2014) studied Healthy (n=40). Classic wet cupping therapy vs. Before therapy (baseline) was evaluated on Heart rate variability (HRV). Classic wet cupping therapy increased all heart rate variability parameters at 1 hour post-treatment compared to baseline in healthy participants.
