Wet cupping therapy for ringing in the ears
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This study tests a traditional treatment called wet cupping, where small cuts are made on the skin and cups are used to draw out a small amount of blood, to see if it can reduce the annoyance and impact of constant ringing in the ears (tinnitus). It may help people whose tinnitus has lasted more than 6 months and affects their daily life.
