Methodology: Study was observational; a total number of sixty samples was selected from Noida and G. Noida. Simple random sampling was used, upon evaluation the inclusion criteria were (1). Female students (2).Age: 18to 25yrs (3). BMI: 19.5 - 24.9 kg/m2. (4) Sitting duration 4hrs/day (5). Chronic back pain for three months. Exclusion criteria were (1). Low and high BP (2). Any pathological condition. (3). Neurological deficits (4). Menstrual irregularities. After that, all subjects were randomly assigned to one of the four groups. Group 1 has given the Tens and Group 2 has given the Cupping therapy. Both the groups have further divided according to the treatment duration 5min and 10min. Treatment description: Tens and Cupping were performed for all the groups the electrodes and cups were placed over the area of most severe pain. The treatment was administered for the specific duration of each group. Result & Conclusion: In our study, we have found that the cupping therapy is equally effective as compared to Tens when the treatment were given for 5min Tens comes out more effective and Cupping is more effective when the therapy time duration is 10min.
