It was a cornerstone in many ancient healing systems, including Traditional Chinese Medicine, Unani Medicine, Traditional Korean Medicine, and Islamic Medicine. Previous pilot randomized controlled trials reported promising effects of adding cupping therapy in the management of tinnitus and hearing loss. This trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of wet cupping as a complementary treatment in the management of chronic subjective tinnitus with or without hearing loss. Materials and Methods: The study participants will be 142 patients suffering from subjective and continuous tinnitus aged from 21 to 65 years. Participants will be randomly assigned into an interventional group (71) or a control group (71). This study is a randomized controlled study. All participants will read and sign the informed consent. Intention to treat and changes in the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) between groups will be the primary outcome. Hearing Level (HL) and adverse events related to wet cupping will be the secondary outcomes. Data will be collected on required forms. Statistical analysis will also be performed. Descriptive analysis will also be represented, showing the demographic information. This clinical trial is a large clinical trial which will be based on a previously conducted pilot trial at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC).",[61,62],"Tinnitus, Subjective","Cupping Therapy",[64,65,66],"Subjective tinnitus","Wet Cupping Therapy","Integrative medecine","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-06-30",{"date":70,"type":71},"2026-07-06","ACTUAL",{"date":73,"type":55},"2026-07",{"date":75,"type":55},"2029-07",{"name":5,"class":6}]
