This systematic review protocol aims to provide the methods used to evaluate the effectiveness of acupotomy therapy for treating soft tissue disorder comparing to local steroid injection.
Fifteen databases will be searched from inception to Dec 2019. We will include randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing acupotomy for soft tissue disorder. All RCTs on acupotomy or related interventions will be included. Study inclusion, data extraction and quality assessment will be performed independently by two reviewers. Assessment of risk of bias and data synthesis will be performed using RevMan 5.3 software. Cochrane criteria for risk-of-bias will be used to assess the methodological quality of the trials.
This study will provide a high-quality synthesis of pain visual analog scale and functional disability or the quality of life, the success treatment rate, the recurrent rate, and the complications rate to assess the effectiveness and safety of acupotomy for soft tissue disorder patients compare to local steroid injection.
This systematic review will provide evidence to judge whether acupotomy is an effective intervention for patients with soft tissue disorder.

本系统评价方案旨在提供用于评估针刀疗法与局部类固醇注射相比治疗软组织疾病有效性的方法。
将检索15个数据库，检索时间从建库至2019年12月。我们将纳入评估针刀治疗软组织疾病的随机对照试验（RCT）。所有关于针刀或相关干预措施的RCT均将纳入。研究纳入、数据提取和质量评估将由两名评价者独立进行。将使用RevMan 5.3软件进行偏倚风险评估和数据合成。将采用Cochrane偏倚风险标准评估试验的方法学质量。
本研究将高质量地综合疼痛视觉模拟量表、功能障碍或生活质量、成功治疗率、复发率和并发症发生率，以评估针刀疗法与局部类固醇注射相比治疗软组织疾病患者的有效性和安全性。
本系统评价将为判断针刀疗法是否为软组织疾病患者的有效干预措施提供证据。
