Psychosomatics are kind of disorders that are related to or concerned with the involvement of both mind and physical signs and symptoms. Moreover, when it comes to headaches, they are considered as one of those major psychosomatic manifestations. The present study aims to determine the efficacy of wet cupping therapy in the treatment of headaches and whether there are significant differences in levels of pain, pre and post cupping. Cross sectional research design was employed. Data was collected from 102 patients who are diagnosed as suffering from chronic headaches and related issues. Sample was selected on the bases of convenience procedures, and all subjects were cupped at Al-Hayaat Medical Centre for Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy. Descriptive and inferential statistics were calculated to reach our results and related findings. Results indicate significant statistical changes and improvements in the studied status of headaches. Positive effects were observed post cupping therapy interventions, and the obtained paired t-test revealed such a significant outcome, where the ultimatum p values found to be as less than 0.000. The findings may lead us to conclude that wet cupping interventions if mastered properly are of great significance when it comes to the treatment or lessening psychosomatics, specifically headaches.
