  1. Which immunological benefit has been proposed for regular hijama therapy?

    Answer: Stimulation of immune cell activity and improved immune surveillance

    Hijama is proposed to stimulate immune function by activating macrophages and improving the body's overall immune surveillance capacity.

  2. A patient with active tuberculosis requests hijama. What is the correct response?

    Answer: Defer treatment until the infection is fully resolved and cleared by physician

    Active infectious diseases like tuberculosis are a systemic contraindication; treatment must be deferred until the patient is cleared by their physician.

  3. Hijama has been studied for its potential benefit in managing which common musculoskeletal condition?

    Answer: Chronic lower back pain

    Multiple studies have examined hijama's role in reducing chronic lower back pain through improved circulation and muscle relaxation.

  4. Which hematological disorder makes wet hijama absolutely contraindicated due to uncontrolled bleeding risk?

    Answer: Hemophilia

    Hemophilia causes a severe deficiency in clotting factors, making any procedure that causes bleeding extremely dangerous.

  5. What neurological benefit is hijama claimed to offer for migraine sufferers?

    Answer: Reduction in frequency and intensity of migraine episodes

    Hijama applied to specific points, particularly on the head and neck, has been reported to reduce migraine frequency and intensity in some patients.

  6. A practitioner notices a patient has uncontrolled diabetes with a blood glucose of 380 mg/dL. What is the appropriate action?

    Answer: Postpone the session and refer to physician for glucose stabilization

    Poorly controlled diabetes impairs wound healing and immune response, making wet hijama unsafe until glucose levels are stabilized under medical supervision.

  7. Which benefit of hijama is associated with its reported effect on the lymphatic system?

    Answer: Enhanced removal of metabolic waste and toxins from tissues

    Hijama is proposed to enhance lymphatic drainage, facilitating the removal of metabolic byproducts and cellular waste from tissues.
