Core acupoints and their potential targets of acupuncture therapy for gouty arthritis based on data mining
Objective To explore the core prescriptions and their targets of acupuncture therapy for gout using data mining methods and to provide references for clinical acupoint selection and basic research.Meth-ods The literature sourced for this study comes from China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wanfang Da-ta,China Biology Medicine database,China Science and Technology Journal Database,PubMed,and Web of Science.The R language was used to discover core acupoint prescriptions by association rules and cluster analy-sis of prescriptions for acupuncture treatment of gout,and further explore the potential targets of the core acu-point prescriptions.Results The core acupoint prescriptions for the treatment of gout by acupuncture were Zusanli,Sanyinjiao,Yinlingquan and Ashi points,with 17 potential targets identified.Conclusion The main acupoints used in acupuncture intervention for gout can achieve therapeutic effects through the synergistic ac-tion of multiple targets and pathways.
