Nocturnal Leg Cramps(NLC) in the calf, hamstrings, or foot are characterized as intensely painful, involuntary muscle contractions lasting from mere seconds to a maximum of 10 minutes, which affect the quality of sleep and may result in distress. The incidence and prevalence of NLC increases with age. There are not many existing literature supporting the use of water cupping therapy complimented with the traditional regimen to cure nocturnal leg cramps of the calf in elderly. The purpose of this study is to document the lasting effect of this intervention on leg cramps in an 85-year-old male.
