There was a significant difference in the beginning time of pain relief between the two groups （P〈0.05）,but there was no significant difference in the stopped development of blisters,scabbing and removing of scabs,degree of pain relief,and time of pain lasting between the two groups （P〉0.05）.Conclusion Both cotton-sheet moxibustion and fire-needle therapy have good effect on herpes zoster.
