Why is it important?
Functional constipation is a common and annoying disorder among pediatric patients which is not benefit from a satisfactory treatment. Low cost, safe, and effective complementary/alternative therapies such as dry cupping could be helpful in this regard.
Perspectives
It seems that such experimental studies (even with better design and study power) should go on to provide promising evidence for the effectiveness of such complementary and alternative treatment modalities.
