The controlgroup were treated with pain point plucking method, while the observation group were treated with flash cupping and retention cupping methods on the basis of the control group. Two groups were treated for 4weeks. The clinical efficacy, Shoulder joint range of motion, TCM symptom score, Constant-Murleyshoulder joint function scale ( CMS), pain degree and quality of life were compared between the twogroups. Results 'The total effective rate of the observation group was 95.65 %, which was higher than thecontrol group's 82.61 %, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05 ). After treatment, theactivity of extension , abduction , flexion , and external intermal rotation in the observation group was higherthan that in the control group, and the 'Traditional Chinese Medicine syndrome seore and visual analogscale ( VAS) were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The CMS seore and quality of lifeseore were higher than those of the control group ( P<0.05 ). Conclusion Pain point plucking methodcombined with flash cupping and retaining cupping method in the treatment of wind cold dampness typeshoulder periarthritis can help alleviate pain, improve shoulder joint function, and enhance treatmentefectiveness.
