Effectiveness of Myofascial Release Versus Dry Cupping in Management of Non-Specific Low Back Pain

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the differences between the effect of myofascial release technique versus cupping technique on pain intensity level, spinal mobility and functional disabilities level in patients with NSLBP. Methods: The study participants were 60 patients from both genders diagnosed as NSLBP. Their age ranged from 45 to 55 years old. They were assigned randomly into two groups: Group A (MFR): 20 patients received MFR and conventional physical therapy treatment. Group B: 20 patients received cupping technique and conventional physical therapy treatment. Group C: 20 patients received conventional physical therapy treatment only. All groups received treatment protocols three times a week for 4 consecutive weeks.
