Acupoint selection for shallow puncture in treatment of insomnia:A study based on data mining
Objective:To investigate the acupoint selection rule for shallow puncture in the treatment of in-somnia based on data mining.Methods:The databases,including CNKI,Wanfang Data,VIP,SinoMed,PubMed,Em-base,and the Cochrane Library,were searched for clinical studies on shallow puncture in the treatment of insomnia published up to January 1,2024.The acupoint prescriptions were analyzed to establish a database for shallow punc-ture in the treatment of insomnia.R 4.3.2 software was used to perform the association analysis and the cluster a-nalysis,and Cytoscape 3.10.1 was used to plot a complex co-occurrence network for core acupoints.Results:A to-tal of 44 articles were included,including 65 acupuncture prescriptions and 43 acupoints.The top 3 acupoints in terms of frequency of use were Shangen,Baihui,and Zhenjing,and there was a relatively high frequency of use for extra ordinary points and empirical points.The top 3 meridians in terms of frequency of use were the governor ves-sel,the Jueyin liver meridian of foot,and the heart meridian of Hand-Shaoyin.The acupoints used were mainly dis-tributed in the head and face,upper extremities,and lower extremities.Five-Shu points and source points were the main specific acupoints used for treatment.The core acupoint pairs were Shangen-Zhenjing and Baihui-Shenmen,and the cluster analysis of high-frequency acupoints obtained 5 clusters.Conclusion:Extra ordinary points and the governor vessel are mainly used for shallow puncture in the treatment of insomnia,with a focus on simultaneous reg-ulation of heart and brain and an emphasis on the application of five-Shu points and source points.Acupoints are selected based on syndrome differentiation,with a flexible combination of acupoints.
