A Preliminary Study of Optimizing Back Pain Medicinal Cupping Points Disease via Graph Colouring

Medical cupping is an ancient method that is still used by many people. It is an alternative method in healing process for much type of diseases by using special cups on the specific points of the skin to create suction. Every disease has their specific cupping points. As a habit, practitioners will cup based on patient request or complaint, where it give effect to the cost and time. Thus, the aim of this paper is to study the effective ways on finding the optimum number of cupping points for back pain disease through graph colouring. In addition, a formulation in C# language is given too in validating the graph model result. The finding shows that the optimum number of back pain medicinal cupping points is two

Optimal medicinal cupping points selection for asthma disease

Medicinal cupping is a traditional therapy which used by applying a cup on acu-points or cupping points and the pressure inside the cup is reduced so that the skin and superficial muscle layer is drawn into and held in the cup. Since all diseases and pains have their specific area to be cupped, most cupping practitioners usually recognize the cupping points based upon the disease and the patient’s complaints. Hence, they will randomly choose the points upon request due to the money constraint. However, there is no mathematical approach on guaranteeing the handy method is optimized. Thus, in this paper, a mathematical model is proposed on finding the optimal number of cupping points for asthma disease via adjacency matrix approach. This mathematical model will further benefit to the biomathematics and medical fields, especially to the industrial cupping practitioners

Efficacy of cupping in the treatment of hypertension disease using graph colouring

Cupping therapy also well known as Hijama is an ancient and holistic method for treatment variety of infirmities particularly cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension. In this method, suction mechanism used to create partial vacuum inside the cup that mobilizes the blood flow and promotes effective healing at the specific point. As practise, the selection of the points based is on patient's complaints. The aim of this study is to identify the least number yet the most effectiveness point at minimal cost to treat hypertension disease. The graph colouring method is applied, besides C# language is used to validate the result. The finding of this research indicates that the optimum number of hypertension medical cupping points is two
