Abstract
Background: Hijama (wet cupping) is a traditional technique that improves blood circulation. However, the results of this procedure are still debatable. As a result, the purpose of this research is to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practice of persons who underwent cupping at the Qabasat Alkhair facility in the Al Ahsa area. Methods: A 400-person cross sectional research was conducted. All participants were chosen from the Qabasat Alkhair facility and received cupping treatment between 2021 and 2022. Results: Cupping was performed on 263 (65.8%) of the individuals for therapeutic objectives, whereas 137 (34.3%) were done for preventative ones. Before cupping, 102 (25.5%) of the participants received medical advice. 371 (92.8%) of research participants said they would recommend cupping to others and 377 (94.3%) said they plan to practice it in the future. Conclusion: Patients found traditional wet cupping therapy in a primary care setting to be safe and acceptable. The current study's findings imply that wet cupping has a therapeutic advantage. Participants report no adverse effects after therapy.
