Exploring Acupoint Selection Rules for Treating Post-Stroke Hemiplegia with Acupoint Injection Therapy Based on Data Mining
Objective:To explore acupoint selection rules for treating post-stroke hemiplegia with acupoint injection therapy based on data mining,thus to provide reference for acupoint selection and prescription formulation.Methods:The literature related to acupoint injection therapy for post-stroke hemiplegia were retrieved from databases of CNKI,Wanfang,VIP and Pubmed from January 2000 to May 2023.A database was established,and SPSS Modeler 18.0 and SPSS Statistics 27.0 software were utilized for acupoint frequency statistics,correlation analysis and cluster analysis of the data.Results:A total of 55 pieces of literature were included,involving 86 acupoints.The highest frequency of use was observed for Quchi(LI11)and Zusanli(ST36)(11.49％and 10.70％,respectively).Seven specific acupoints were identified,with the highest frequency of use being observed for the five-Shu acupoints.Among the meridians,15 were identified,with the top three being Hand Yangming Meridian,Foot Yangming Meridian and Foot Shaoyang Meridian.Correlation analysis revealed 16 groups of acupoint combinations meeting the criteria,with the top three being LI11-ST36,LI11-Jianyu(LI15),and Li11-LI15-ST36.After high-frequency acupoint clustering analysis,five groups of acupoint combinations were obtained.A dendrogram divided the top 20 acupoints into two categories,with ST36-LI11 forming one category,indicating a focus on key acupoints.A total of 28 types of injection solutions were identified,with the highest frequency of use observed for Danshen injection,Compound Danshen injection,and Vitamin B1/B12 injections.Conclusion:Acupoint injection therapy for post-stroke hemiplegia predominantly follows the course of the Yangming meridians,with the five-Shu points being primarily selected,often utilizing ST36 and LI 11,along with proximal acupoints for complementary treatment.
