Randomized controlled trials incorporating acupotomy therapy alone or combined with other conventional treatments for chronic nonspecific neck pain were included. Two reviewers screened each literature and extracted data independently according to Cochrane Reviews\u2019 Handbook (5.1). The Cochrane Collaboration\u2019s RevMan 5.3 software was applied for meta\u2010analysis. <jats:italic>Results.<\/jats:italic> A total of ten trials involving 433 patients were enrolled. The pooled analysis indicated that acupotomy therapy showed a significant improving short\u2010term and long\u2010term effect on effective rate and cure rate. Meta\u2010analysis demonstrated that acupotomy therapy group was superior to control group in restoring cervical lordosis and debasing VAS score. The result of continuous data did not support statistical significance of acupotomy therapy in adjusting clinical symptom score. For adverse events, acupotomy group did not reveal obvious superiority compared to control group. <jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> Acupotomy therapy may be beneficial to chronic nonspecific neck pain patients. To strengthen supportive evidence, future, more rigorously designed clinical trials, adequate adverse events, and follow\u2010up project are recommended.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/6197308","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,23]],"date-time":"2017-08-23T21:02:30Z","timestamp":1503522150000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Acupotomy Therapy for Chronic Nonspecific Neck Pain: A Systematic Review and Meta\u2010Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2017","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8304-0889","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fushui","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8894-4732","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fanyuan","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5136-0028","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meimei","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3639-987X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ting","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0050-6955","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mei","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2485-6930","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaojun","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_1_2","volume-title":"Acupotomy","author":"Zhu H.
