Effects of Paraffin Wax Therapy and Dry Cupping on Pain and Wrist Function in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disease that can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced functional performance in the wrist and hand joints. These problems may make daily activities, such as gripping objects and performing self-care tasks, more difficult. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of paraffin wax therapy and dry cupping on pain intensity and wrist joint functional performance among patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The study will compare two groups: one receiving paraffin wax therapy and the other receiving dry cupping therapy Pain intensity and wrist joint functional performance will be assessed before and after the interventions using standardized assessment tools. The findings may help determine whether these complementary therapies can reduce pain and improve wrist function in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
