Frozen shoulder (scapulohumeral periarthritis, SP), also known as adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder joint, is a common clinical disease with shoulder pain and limited joint movement as its main symptoms, and belongs to the category of “paralysis” in traditional Chinese medicine. The incidence of frozen shoulder has been increasing in recent years, and untimely treatment will lead to limited joint movement, increased pain and muscle atrophy, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Acupuncture, as an important therapeutic tool in Chinese medicine, has been widely recognised for its effectiveness in relieving pain and improving shoulder joint mobility. By reviewing the literature of acupuncture treatment of frozen shoulder in recent years, the author systematically reviewed the therapies of millimetre needles, floating needles, fire needles, snap needles, warm acupuncture and moxibustion, heat-sensitive moxibustion, and acupuncture and moxibustion synthesis method, and put forward some opinions on the deficiencies of acupuncture treatment and the direction of the development of the future research, with a view to providing a reference basis for the clinical treatment of frozen shoulder and the research, and to better serve in the clinic.
