In this paper, the authors review recent development of acupuncture treatment of scapulohumeral periarthritis from syndrome-differentiation, acupoint selection, therapeutic methods and the therapeutic effects. Acupoints used are body acupoints, scalp-points, auricular acupoints, while the therapeutic methods include filiform needling, moxibustion, cupping, massage, electroacupuncture, acupoint-injection, wrist-ankle needling, etc..
