Objective: To analyze the effect of Guizhi Shujin Tongluo decoction combined with acupuncture in 100 patients with frozen shoulder. Methods: From July 2023 to June 2025, 100 patients with frozen shoulder were selected in our hospital and divided into groups using the random number table method. Each group had 50 patients. 50 patients in the research group were treated with Guizhi Shujin Tongluo Decoction combined with acupuncture, and 50 patients in the control group were treated with acupuncture. The data between the groups were compared. Results: Compared with the control group, the total effective rate of the study group was significantly higher, the VAS score after treatment was significantly lower, the shoulder joint mobility was significantly greater after treatment, and the pain mediator level was significantly lower after treatment, P<0.05; comparing the VAS scores, shoulder joint mobility, and pain mediator levels before treatment between the two groups, P>0.05. Conclusion: The application of Guizhi Shujin Tongluo Decoction combined with acupuncture has an ideal effect on 100 patients with frozen shoulder.
