Moving Cupping for Plaque Psoriasis: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Psoriasis is a common chronic and recurrent inflammatory skin disease. The incidence of the disease is increasing year by year, seriously affecting people's quality of life. The systematic treatment of psoriasis in modern medicine is limited of wide application due to the adverse reactions of different degrees and the high economic cost. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies have become an increasingly visible part of dermatology. Cupping is becoming an important therapy in complementary and alternative medicine. Although, moving cupping therapy has been widely used in the treatment of plaque psoriasis and has been recognized by a large number of peers and patients, but still lacks high‐quality evidence‐based medical evidence. Therefore, the project team intends to provide evidence support for the effectiveness and safety of moving cupping therapy for plaque psoriasis through clinical studies.
