Objective Observation of the therapeutic effect of Huolong Jar on constipation in children undergoing rehabilitation. Methods Sixty children with cerebral palsy and constipation symptoms admitted to the Rehabilitation Department of Shenyang Childrens Hospital from February 2024 to October 2024 were selected as the research subjects and divided into an observation group and a control group, with 30 cases in each group. The control group of patients received routine health guidance, while the observation group received treatment with a dragon pot. The frequency of constipation according to the "Diagnostic and Therapeutic Criteria for Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinical Diseases" was used as the criterion for evaluating the efficacy of this treatment. The treatment effects and defecation status scores of the two groups were compared. Results The treatment effect of the observation group (93%) was better than that of the control group (73%) (P<0.05); Before treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in the scores of various defecation conditions between the two groups of patients (P>0.05); After treatment, the defecation status scores of the observation group patients [defecation characteristics (3.2333 ± 0.9352) points, constipation symptoms (3.5667 ± 4.4851) points] were lower than those of the control group [defecation characteristics (2.9000 ± 0.9948) points, constipation symptoms (6.9667 ± 7.1558) points] (P<0.05). Conclusion Fire Dragon Jar therapy has a significant effect on improving constipation in children with cerebral palsy.
