Purpose of this study is to investigate
The effect of Dry cupping therapy on T-Lymphocyte in post covid-19 patients.
The effect of Dry cupping therapy on serum Cytokine in post covid-19 patients.
The effect of Dry cupping therapy on Immunoglobulin IgA.
The effect of Dry cupping therapy on Immunoglobulin IgM.
The effect of Dry cupping therapy on Immunoglobulin IgG. seventy six patients of both genders with deficiency in T-Lymphocyte number,,higher level of serum cytokine and lower immunoglobulin IgA,IgM,IgG after two weeks of recovery from covid-19 . Age range from Twenty one to Sixty six years old .They participated in the study and recruited from surveillance unit of Shobra general hospital .These patients recruited by phone and have been offered to participate in the programme.The patients were divided equally into two groups (A and B). Assessment was done before and after treatment. T-Lymphocyte, serum cytokine and immunoglobulin IgA, IgM and IgG were analyzed by kenza 240 TX from fluorescence-labeled flow cytometry. Disposable cupping therapy instrument was used in treatment of group (A) in addition to traditional medical treatment in the form of vitamin C, D and anticoagulant drugs. Traditional medical treatment only was used in treatment of group (B).The obtained results of this study will determine the significant improvement of participated two groups.
.
Patient were selected randomly and distributed in two groups by computer generation. The sample size was calculated using the G*Power software (version 3.0.10). F-test MANOVA within and between interaction effects was selected. Considering a power of 0.80, an α level of 0.05 (2 tailed) and effect size of 0.39; two groups and response variables of five, a generated sample size of at least 38 participants per group was required and total sample size of 76 subjects.
