The intervention will be through a single session of suction therapy to assess the analgesic effect for a period of 8 minutes/session. They will be divided into three groups, with nonspecific pain in

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The reduction of self-reported pain assessed at the beginning of the intervention by means of a visual analogue scale is expected as the primary outcome. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement of the individual's functional quality is expected within the secondary outcome, through the analysis of the adapted Q-Adom scale, in which the participant will respond within 24 hours after the cupping technique, thus identifying changes in the pattern of sleep, emotional state, modification of daily habits. | — |
