Abstract

Gout, or more commonly known as uric acid, is a chronic inflammatory metabolic disorder characterized by elevated serum uric acid levels. Regular cupping therapy is strongly suspected of stimulating cellular immunity and reducing uric acid. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of cupping therapy on reducing uric acid levels in gout patients. This research method used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design (non-equivalent control group design). The results of the study showed that the statistical test results using the Paired Sample T-Test showed that there was an effect of cupping therapy on changes in uric acid levels in gout arthritis patients with a p-value = 0.000 (p < 0.05). This indicates that cupping therapy is effective in reducing uric acid levels in gout arthritis patients.
