Abstract：Objective：To observe the clinical effect of fire dragon moxibustion therapy for scapulohumeral periarthritis of cold- dampness obstruction type. Methods： A total of 98 cases of patients with scapulohumeral periarthritis of colddampness obstruction type were divided into the routine group and the study group according to the random number table method，48 cases in each group. The routine group was given traditional moxibustion，and the study group was given fire dragon moxibustion. Before and after treatment，the changes in score of Short- Form McGill Pain Questionnaire(SF- MPQ) and Constant-Murley Score for evaluating the function of shoulder joint were observed in the two groups. The clinical effect was evaluated in the two groups. Results：The total effective rate was 100% in the study group，and 87.50% in the routine group， the difference being significant(P＜0.05). After treatment， each score of SF- MPQ and the total score in the two groups were significantly decreased when compared with those before treatment，and each score of Constant-Murley and the total score were significantly increased，differences being significant(P＜0.05). After treatment，each score of SF-MPQ and Constant- Murley and the total scores in the study group were better than those in the routine group， the difference being significant(P＜0.05). No adverse reactions occurred in the two groups. Conclusion：In the treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis of cold-dampness obstruction type，fire dragon moxibustion has significant clinical effect，which can significantly relieve pain in shoulder joint and promote functional recovery.
