“…The reporting quality of included trials was evaluated according to (1) the 37-item (including sub-items) of the CONSORT 2010 checklist; (2) the 18-item of the CONSORT Extension for Trials of Nonpharmacologic Treatments (NPTs) 2017 checklist; and (3) the 16-item of a self-designed massage-specific checklist. This massage-related checklist was developed by three researchers (ZXB, GHT, and XZ) based on a discussion about (1) the key elements of massage in clinical practice; (2) transparent reporting of massage details in the clinical trials, such as the treatment posture, media used, location selected, manipulations and procedures, patients’ responses, and adverse effects; (3) the rationale of why massage intervention(s) was selected; and (4) relevant items from the CONSORT Extensions for Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) formula, acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping [ 13 – 16 ]. Aiming for easy calculation, the specifics of this checklist were categorized into six items with sixteen sub-questions, covering massage rationale, details of technique, treatment regimen, other components of treatment, massage provider background, and control or comparator of massage.…”

“…The process of wet cupping therapy is carried out on every 17 th , 19 th , and 21 st (hijria) selected based on Islamic literature [18]. Another research stated it is not carried out on any other days, other than the one recommended by Islamic literature once a month for 3 consecutive months [19]. Therefore, further research is needed to focus on the differences between certain days and other days of wet cupping therapy results for changes in blood pressure and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) in hypertensive patients.…”
