Rule of acupoint selection in acupuncture therapy for bronchial asthma:A study based on data mining
Objective:To investigate the rule of acupoint selection in acupuncture therapy for bronchial asthma based on data mining.Methods:CNKI,VIP,Wanfang Data,and SinoMed were searched for clinical studies on acupuncture therapy for bronchial asthma published up to September 20,2022.Traditional Chinese Medicine In-heritance Support System V2.5 was used to perform frequency,association rule,cluster,and core prescription analy-ses.Results:A total of 42 articles were included,involving 52 acupoints,with a total frequency of 272 times,and the top 10 acupoints in terms of frequency were Feishu,Dingchuan,Zusanli,Fenglong,Danzhong,Chize,Lieque,Tiantu,Fengmen,and Dazhui;the commonly used acupoints were mainly distributed in the bladder meridian of foot-Taiyang,the lung meridian of hand-Taiyin,and the conception vessel.Back-shu points,confluent points,and five-shu points were mainly selected as specific acupoints.and Feishu-Dingchuan was the most common combination for acupoint compatibility.Core acupoint prescriptions involved Feishu,Dingchuan,Zusanli,Fenglong,Danzhong,and Fengmen.Conclusion:The selection of specific acupoints is an important part of acupuncture treatment of asthma,and clinical practice should focus on the acupoint selection concept of"selecting shu-points for treating visceral dis-eases"and highlight the acupoint compatibility features of"local acupoint combinations","distal-proximal acupoint combinations",and"anterior-posterior acupoint combinations",thereby reflecting the treatment principle of strengthe-ning vital Qi and eliminating pathogen and addressing both the symptoms and root causes.
