Objective To observe clinical therapeutic effect of fire-needle therapy on arthralgia syndrome. Methods 175 cases of arthralgia syndrome were treated with fire-needle therapy as treatment group, and 219 cases were treated by filiform needle as control group. Results The total cured rate and the total effective rate were 86.3% and 97.7% in the treatment group and 78.1% and 94.1% in the control group, respectively. The treatment group in the 3-time effective rate and the average cured time was significantly superior to the control group ( P <0.01); the therapeutic effect in the treatment group for the patient with a course over 3 years was better than that in the control group ( P <0.05), but no significant difference for the patient with a course within 3 years. Conclusion Fire-needle therapy has significant and definite therapeutic effect on arthralgia syndrome.
