Abstract
Objectives : Daechu(大椎, Dazhui:GV14(Governor Vessel 14))-point is located between the spinous process of the 7th cervical vertebra and that of the 1st thoracic vertebra. GV14 has been used to treat hypertension, high fever, neck pain, common cold, headache and so on. Hypertension often badly affects on the improvement of stroke patients. So we investigated whether the wet-cupping at GV14 had effects on decreasing BP(blood pressure).
