There have been no scientific research experiments conducted on the efficacy of cupping. 

"There is no evidence for its efficacy.  It has not been submitted to clinical trials, but there have certainly been satisfied customers for 3,000 years." --Professor Edzard Ernst, Department of Complementary Medicine at the University of Exeter

"There is no scientific evidence that cupping leads to any health benefits....No research or clinical studies have been done on cupping. Any reports of successful treatment with cupping are anecdotal. There is no scientific evidence that cupping can cure cancer or any other disease." --American Cancer Society
