Pain of yin pattern is difficult to treat with Western medicine. We report four cases of shoulder periarthritis of yin pattern, as defined in Kampo, successfully treated with Kampo medicine. All three of these patients were women, aged 59, 74, and 62, respectively, at the end of the treatment series. All of them were diagnosed with shoulder periarthritis of yin pattern through interviews and were administered a combination of kakkonto and sokeikakketsuto after dokkatsukakkonto based on the classic description; their pain was then relieved. According to the classical interpretation, jufu is a clinical state of pain in the four extremities of people with yin pattern, for which dokkatsukakkonto is effective. We discussed the prescription directions for dokkatsukakkonto.
