Abstract

Erythrocyte deformability is the elasticity of erythrocyte form during its course through microvasculature to adjust to the diameter of microvasculature, and it can spontaneously return to its original form without changes in shape and function. Cupping therapy is a traditional treatment with a principle of blood letting in certain areas on the back to heal a disease. This was a quasi-experimental study using non-random pretest-posttest control group design performed to human beings as the subject of study. By sampling quota, we obtained 34 subjects, comprising 17 individuals in each group. Data were analyzed descriptively and analytically using computer. The diffirence of erythrocyte deformability in each group, which was presented as percentage, was analyzed using t test. The result ofpaired sample t-test, the p value was found to be 0.001. Therefore, it can be concluded that the ejfoct of cupping therapy on the increase of erythrocyte deformability in cigarette smokers in treatment group was highly significant since p < 0. 05. The result of independent t-test revealed p value of 0. 002. Since the p value was < 0. 05, the effect of cupping therapy on the increase of erythrocyte deformability in cigarette smokers in control and treatment groups at final observation had significant difference. In conclusion, cupping therapy has effocto in the increase of erythrocyte deformability in cigarette smokers. Cigarette smoking in certain quantity and time may reduce the action capacity of the erythrocytes to pass microvasculature to deliver oxygen to cellular level. Cupping therapy can be applied as a therapy to increase the capacity of erythrocyte to pass the microvasculature as it has been proved to be able to increase erythrocyte deformability. The value of erythrocyte deformabi/ity can be increased more if the subjects cease to smoke.
