To evaluate the clinical safety and efficacy of blockage and acupotomology for frozen shoulder. Methods： Randomized controlled trials（RCTs）on blockage and acupotomology in the treatment of frozen shoulder were retrieved from CBM ( from year 1978 to 2013), CNKI (from year 1979 to 2013), VIP (from year 1989 to 2013), PubMed ( from year 1966 to 2013), and Cochrane Library (Issue,5,2013). Data were extracted and evaluated by two reviewers independently according to Cochrane Reviewers’ Handbook. The Cochrane Collaboration’s Revman 5.2.5 software was used for meta-analyses when necessary. Results： Two trials involving 115 cases were included in the review. The results of meta-analyses showed that there was no significant difference of short-term curative rate for frozen shoulder between blockage and acupotomology (P>0.05). And the long-term effect rate ［OR=0.09，95%CI (0.01，0.93)，P=0.04］ and long-term total curative rate ［OR=0.07，95%CI（0.02，0.26），P<0.0001］ of acupotomology was superior to blockage in the treatment of frozen shoulder. Conclusion： Acupotomology may be superior to blockage in the treatment for frozen shoulder. However, due to low quality of the included studies, rigorously designed RCTs are needed to confirm the conclusion.
