Analysis of acupoint selection rule for acupuncture treatment of insomnia:Based on the Ancient and Modern Medical Case Cloud Platform
Objective To study the acupoint selection rule for acupuncture treatment of insomnia based on the Ancient and Modern Medical Case Cloud Platform.Methods Clinical research literatures of acupuncture for insomnia published by the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)from the establishment of the databases to December 31,2022 were retrieved.Acupuncture prescriptions for insomnia were extracted to create a database.The data mining function of the Ancient and Modern Medical Case Cloud Platform(V2.4.3)was used to analyze the data.Results A total of 974 prescriptions were extracted from 431 articles,involving 166 acupoints.The top 5 acupoints were Shenmen(HT7,657 times),Baihui(GV 20,576 times),Sa-nyinjiao(SP 6,544 times),Neiguan(PC 6,432 times),and Sishencong(EX-HN 1,415 times).The most selected meridi-an was the bladder meridian of Foot-Taiyang.The acupoints were mainly distributed in the lower limbs,the head,face and neck.The mostly used specific acupoints were rendezvous acupoints.The correlation rule analysis showed that the most correlated acupoints combination was Sanyinjiao(SP 6)-Shenmen(HT7).Through the community analysis and complex network analy-sis,the main core acupuncture group composed of five acupoints,namely the Shenmen(HT7),Sanyinjiao(SP 6),Baihui(GV 20),Neiguan(PC 6),and Sishencong(EX-HN 1),could be derived.Totally 12 clusters were yielded from the cluster analy-sis,which can be divided into two categories:principal points and adjunct acupuncture points.Conclusion The priority acu-point selection for acupuncture treatment of insomnia are the acupoints along the bladder meridian of Foot-Taiyang.The acu-points in the lower limbs,the head,face and neck are used frequently.Clinically,Shenmen(HT7),Sanyinjiao(SP 6),Baihui(GV 20),Neiguan(PC 6),and Sishencong(EX-HN 1)can be the main acupoints,combined with different syndrome types and supplemented by other acupoints.
