Every-two-week applied cupping (with scarification) session within one month on back of upper thorax is not compared previously regarding its effect on cardio-metabolic risk factors to the daily application of laser on acupoints (for month, except Fridays) in fatty liver patients. This trial will compare the two procedure effects on cardio-metabolic risk factors in fatty liver.
In fatty liver patients,every-two-week applied cupping (with scarification) session within one month on back of upper thorax for 30 patients will be compared regarding its effect on cardio-metabolic risk factors to the daily application of laser on acupoints (for month, except Fridays) of other 30 patients.
