Exploring Methodology,Points,and Techniques of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Treatment for Gastrocnemius Muscle Spasm Based on Data Mining Technology
Objective:To summarize the rules and to explore methodology,points and techniques of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for gastrocnemius muscle spasm by using data mining technology.Methods:The clinical research literature about acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for gastrocnemius muscle spasm were retrieved from the databases of CNKI,Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform,Weipu Journal Full-text Database,and China Biomedical Literature Database to establish gastrocnemius muscle spasm prescription database,and the data were statistically described,association rules and clustered analysis were carried out by using SPSS Statistics 25.0 and SPSS modeler 18.3 softwares.Results:A total of 85 articles were included,involving 32 acupoints and 11 kinds of acupuncture and moxibustion methods.In terms of pathogenesis,external cold-damp pathogenic factors obstructed meridians,resulting in unsmooth flow of Qi and blood;or deficiency of Qi and blood or long-term illness led to deficiency,resulting in the loss of nourishment to tendons.In terms of methodology,it should relax tendons,promote meridian circulation,harmonize Qi and blood,as well as balance Yin and Yang.In terms of prescription and acupoints,acupoint selection for relaxing tendons and promoting meridian circulation along Bladder meridian included Chengshan(BL57),Chengjin(BL56),supplemented by Yanglingquan(GB34)of Gallbladder meridian.Treatment of harmonizing Qi and Blood from Stomach meridian of Foot Yangming and Spleen meridian of Foot Taiyin involved selecting Zusanli(ST36)and Sanyinjiao(SP6).Balancing Yin and Yang selected acupoints in upper limbs.Specific acupoints were mainly lower He-sea points,He-sea points and eight influential acupoints,and the correlation rule analysis showed that BL57-BL56 was the most supportive pair.By conducting cluster analysis on acupoints with frequency of use greater than 5,the acupoints can be classified into 3 groups.In terms of techniques,acupuncture,acupoint injection,needle-warming moxibustion and electro-acupuncture were used most.Conclusion:It analyzed literature data and discussed the methodology,techniques,and acupoints of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for gastrocnemius muscle spasm based on the results,to provide guidance for the clinical treatment of gastrocnemius muscle spasm.
