Methods Movable cupping was performed on bilateral bladder meridians and the Du meridian in 12 patients with sub-health status. The sub-health status rating scale score, the visual analogue pain intensity scale score, hemorheological parameters and immunoglobulins were observed before and after movable cupping.Results The sub-health status rating scale score, the visual analogue pain intensity scale score, whole blood viscosity 200 and plasma viscosity decreased after treatment compared with before in the patients, and there were statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Whole blood viscosity 1, whole blood viscosity 2 and whole blood viscosity 3 decreased and IgG, IgA and IgM increased after treatment compared with before in the patients, but there were no statistically significant differences (P>0.05). Conclusion Movable cupping has clinically a certain improving effect on bodily sub-health status.
