Liver Enzymes and Metabolic Risk Factors Response to Laser Acupuncture Versus Cupping Therapy in Fatty Liver

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Fatty Liver

• Registration Number: NCT05623930
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

fatty liver disease is characterized by low antioxidants, disturbed lipid metabolism, cardioautonomic functions, and elevated blood measures (glucose, inflammatory markers, liver enzymes)

Detailed Description

In fatty liver patients,applied cupping (with scarification) will be compared, regarding its effect on antioxidant, lipid metabolism, cardioautonomic functions, and blood measures (glucose, inflammatory markers, liver enzymes), to application of laser on acupoints
