Rules of clinical acupoints used in the treatment of hemiplegia in meridian stage of stroke in Special Collection of SHI Xuemin's Acupuncture and Moxibustion Case
Objective To analyze the rules of clinical acupoints used in the treatment of hemiplegia in meri-dian stage of stroke in Special Collection of SHI Xuemin's Acupuncture and Moxibustion Case by data mining techno-logy,to provide a basis for clinical selection of acupoints.Methods The medical records of treating hemiplegia in the meridian period of stroke in Special Collection of SHI Xuemin's Acupuncture and Moxibustion Case published in March 2018 were collated,and the database was established by Excel.IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 and IBM SPSS Modeler 18.0 software were used to conduct the network association rules analysis and cluster pedigree tree analysis.Results In the treatment of hemiplegia in meridian phase,the most frequently used acupoints were Neiguan(PC6)and Sanyinjiao(SP6)(both were 6.28%),the most frequently used meridian was the foot Shaoyangbile meridian(14.65%),the most frequently used acupoint was at upper limb(32.37%),and the most frequently used specific acupoint was Jiaohui point(28.54%).The high-frequency acupoint association rules were analyzed for the top 17 acupoints with frequency,and 64 combinations were obtained after setting the parameters.In the clinical treatment of stroke,the acupoint combination of Neiguan(PC6)-Sanyinjiao(SP6)-Renzhong(DU26)-Weizhong(BL40)-Jiquan(HT1)-Chize(LU5)-Fengchi(GB20)-Wangu(GB12)is the most commonly used acupoint combination with the most significant effect.Conclusion The main meridian selected by Academician SHI Xuemin in the treatment of hemiplegia in the meridian stage of stroke is Yang meridian,the selected parts are the limbs and the head and neck where the meridians pass through and stay and the meridians cross each other,the most selected point is Jiao-hui point and the acupoint combination plays a role of regulating meridians and organs,adjusting the balance be-tween Yin and Yang.
