Study on the point selection rules of auricular point treatment of gastric cancer postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction based on data mining
Objective To summarize the point selection rules of auricular point treatment of gastric cancer postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction(PGD)based on data mining technology.Methods The relevant literatures on the point selection rules of auricular point treatment for gastric cancer PGD were systematically searched from CNKI,VIP,Wanfang Data,SinoMed,and PubMed from inception to June 2023.The auricular point database was established by Excel,the association rules of the selected auricular points were analyzed by SPSS Modeler 18.0,and the systematic cluster analysis was performed by SPSS Statistics 26.0.Results A total of 34 relevant literatures were included and 34 kinds of auricular points were selected,including 13 auricular points,which were used for a total of 203 times.The main way of auricular point treatment of PGD was ear point bean pressing,and the ear points of the nail were mostly used,mainly involving the stomach,large intestine,small intestine,sympathetic,subcortical,spleen,shénmén,and so on.The association rule showed that the small intestine-stomach,and the large intestine-stomach had the highest correlation.Cluster analysis showed that auricular points could be roughly divided into three categories:large intestine,small intestine,stomach,sympathetic,subcortical,shénmén,endocrine,spleen;liver,heart,brain stem;sānjiāo,kidney.Conclusion Auricular point treatment of PGD has been widely used in clinical practice,clinical point selection has certain rules,and the compatibility of points based on data mining technology has certain guiding significance for accurate intervention of PGD.
