Brief Summary:
The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of wet cupping therapy WCT on cerebral oxygenation using the NIRS device With the demonstration of the positive effect of the WCT on cerebral oxygenation it was aimed to use it effectively in stroke rehabilitation
In the outpatient clinic setting firstly the sensor pads of the NIRS device will be attached to the arcus superciliaris GB14 under the tuber frontalis on both sides After the measurement is initiated WCT will be applied to the planum occipitale DU 20 and to the pars squamosa GB6-8 of the temporal bone on the sides Measurement will continue for 10 minutes during and after the WCT application NIRS and oxygenation measurement data will be compared before during and after the WCT application

Detailed Description:
The importance of NIRS is that it can detect differences in tissue oxygen uptake that cannot be routinely identified by existing methods 24 The ability of near-infrared NIR near infrared wavelength 650 - 1100nm light to penetrate tissues and to be absorbed by some chromophores such as haemoglobin cytochrome oxidase bilirubin urobilin has formed the basis of regional cerebral oxygen saturation rScO2 measurement 15 NIRS is a technique in which the amount of absorption of NIR light by chromophore molecules such as oxyhaemoglobin O2Hb and deoxyhaemoglobin HHb cytochrome-c oxidase CCO myoglobin is measured while passing through tissues 16 rScO2 values less than 40 or changes greater than 25 from baseline values may be a harbinger of cerebral ischaemia 17 Cerebral oximetry has attracted attention because it is easy to use and uncomplicated NIRS should be used as a trend monitor
In the current study it is aimed to investigate the efficacy of wet cupping therapy WCT on cerebral oxygenation using the NIRS device Following the enrollment of the healthy individuals they will all receive one session of WCT During the WCT application the cerebral oxygenation levels will be measured with an NIRS device
In the outpatient clinic setting the NIRS devices sensor pads will be attached to the arcus superciliaris GB14 under the tuber frontalis on both sides After the measurement is initiated WCT will be applied to the planum occipitale DU 20 and the pars squamosa GB6-8 of the temporal bone on the sides Measurement will continue for 10 minutes during and after the WCT application The data obtained by NIRS will be compared before during and after the WCT application so that we will be able to find out any possible effects of WCT on cerebral oxygenation
