Objective： To observe the clinical efficacy of fire therapy in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Methods： 60 patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into experimental group （30 cases） and control group （30 cases）. The control group was given routine drug analgesia, acupuncture, massage and other treatments to perform knee osteoarthritis Chinese medicine nursing program. The experimental group was treated with fire on the basis of routine treatment and care in the control group. Before and after the treatment, the joint visual pain scale VAS was used to evaluate the joint pain of the two groups. The clinical effects of the two groups were observed and the results were com- pared. Results： The VAS scores of the 2 groups after treatment were lower than before treatment, and the experimental group was superior to the control group （P〈0.05）. The clinical efficacy of the experimental group was significantly dif- ferent from that of the control group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： The application of fire therapy can effectively reduce the pain of joints in patients with knee osteoarthritis, improve the symptoms of joint stiffness, improve the patient＇ s joint exercise capacity, and has a definite curative effect. It has been included in the optimization project of traditional Chi- nese medicine nursing program for knee osteoarthritis in our hospital.
