The study aims to investigate the influence of 5 cupping massage treatments on chronic non
specific neck pain. 50 patients with neck pain are randomised into cupping treatment and
waiting list control group. Before and after the intervention the investigators evaluate the
neck pain (VAS), the neck related disability (NDI), pain on movement (POM) and the quality of
life (SF36) and safety. To investigate neurophysiological effects of cupping the
investigators also measure mechanical detection threshold (MDT), vibration detection
threshold (VDT) and pressure pain threshold (PPT) and the two point discrimination threshold
at pain related and control areas.
The treatment group receives 5 cupping treatments over a period of 3 weeks.

Inclusion Criteria: - age between 18 and 75 - permanent neck pain for at least three months in a row - a minimum of 40mm of neck pain on a 100mm visual analogue scale (VAS) Exclusion Criteria: - neck pain caused by trauma, inflammatory or malignant disease, by congenital malformation of the spine or if pain was accompanied by radicular symptoms such as radiating pain, paresis, prickling or tingling. - invasive treatments within the last 4 weeks, surgery to the spine within the last year, corticosteroid or opioid treatment. - serious acute or chronic organic disease such as diabetes or cancer, mental disorders, pregnancy, and haemorrhagic tendency or anticoagulation treatment. - non steroidal pain medication and physiotherapy were allowed if the treatment regimen was not altered for four weeks before and continued during the study. |

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Pain intensity | 100mm Visual Analogue Scale from 0mm 'no pain' to 100mm 'maximal pain' | 3 weeks | |
Secondary | Pain on movement (POM) | 100mm Visual Analogue Scale from 0mm 'no pain' to 100mm 'maximal pain' Intensity rated for 6 movement directions flexion, tension, and rotation | 3 weeks | |
Secondary | Neck disability index | NDI measures neck pain complaints (Vernon und Mior 1991) | 3 weeks | |
Secondary | Quality of Life SF-36 | the sf-36 is a short form health survey consisting of 8 scales to measure functional health and wellbeing (Bullinger & Kirchberger 1998) | 3 weeks | |
Secondary | mechanical detection threshold MDT | by von Frey filaments to measure perception threshold for light touch (Rolke, Pain, 2006) | 3 weeks | |
Secondary | vibration detection threshold VDT | with a tuning fork to measure perception threshold for vibration (Rolke, Pain, 2006) | 3 weeks | |
Secondary | pressure pain threshold PPT | with a pressure gauge algometer to determine threshold for painful pressure (Rolke, Pain, 2006) on the area of maximal neck pain, the adjacent and hand and foot | 3 weeks | |
Secondary | Adverse events | Number of patients with adverse events | 3 weeks | |
Secondary | two point discrimination threshold | using a pair of circles, determining the distance necessary between those to perceive them as separate sensations | 3 weeks |
