Study On The Pattern Of Acupuncture Point Selection Based On Data Mining Technology For The Treatment Of Herpes Zoster

Objective:By applying data mining techniques,the acupuncture prescription and combination therapy characteristics for treating Herpes Zoster(HZ)are analyzed.The rules for selecting acupuncture points and treatment prescriptions for treating HZ with acupuncture are summarized,providing reference and theoretical basis for clinical acupuncture treatment of HZ.Methods:By searching the four major Chinese databases,namely China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database,WANFANG Database,and China Biomedical Literature Database(CBM),for relevant literature on acupuncture treatment of HZ published from February 26,2013 to February 26,2023,and then using Note Express software to screen the literature,standardize the names of acupoints and combined therapies,the acupoint prescriptions and acupuncture combined therapy information are extracted to establish a database for acupuncture treatment of HZ.The SPSS Modeler 18.0 and R 3.6.3 software are used to perform association rule and cluster analysis on the original database to explore the main acupoint characteristics for acupuncture treatment of HZ,the correlation between acupoints,and the features of acupuncture combined therapy.Results:1.A total of 5024 articles related to acupuncture treatment of HZ were retrieved in this study,and through screening and correction,a total of 95 articles were finally included to establish a database for acupuncture treatment of HZ2.The database contains a total of 49 acupuncture points,with a total frequency of 336 acupuncture points.Among them,according to the frequency of use of acupoints,the top 5 high-frequency acupoints are: A Shi acpoint,Jiaji Ridge acpoint,Zhigou acpoint,Yangling Spring Cave and Zusanli acpoint.According to the frequency of meridian use,the top 5 high-frequency meridians are: hand shaoyang three jiao meridian,foot s hao yang bile meridian,foot yin liver meridian,hand yang ming large intestine meridian and foot taiyin spleen meridian.According to the frequency of specific acupoints,the first 3 high-frequency specific acupoints are: five infusion points,original acupoints and back acupoints.3.In terms of the correlation between acupoints,after the analysis of association rules,the commonly used combination of binary acupoints is: A is a point-clamped ridge point,a branch gouge point-A is a point,and a branch gou-jia point.According to cluster analysis,high-frequency acupoints were divided into 4 categories: A is acupoint;Pinchine points;Zhigou Cave,Houxi Cave;Other.In terms of the correlation between acupoints,after the analysis of association rules,the commonly used combination of binary acupoints is:A is a point-clamped ridge point,a branch gouge point-A is a point,and a branch gou-jia point.According to cluster analysis,high-frequency acupoints were divided into 4 categories: A is acupoint;Pinchine points;Zhigou Ca ve,Houxi Cave;Other acpoints.4.In terms of acupuncture combination therapy,there are 11 types of commonly used combination therapies,of which the three most commonly used are: piercing cupping,nutritional antiviral drugs and fire acupuncture.Conclusion:1.The commonly used acupoints for acupuncture treatment of HZ are the hand Shaoyang Sanjiao meridian and the foot shaoyang bile meridian;Five infusion points,original points and other specific acupoints are the mainstay,often choose Ah is point,jia ridge point,zhigou point and houxi point.2.When acupuncture treats HZ,the main acupoint often uses A is acupoint with chirospinal point to achieve the role of pain relief and circulation,and the supporting acupoint often uses branch groove point to play the role of soothing trifocal point,and dialectical acupoint treatment is used to prove both.3.Acupuncture treatment of HZ is often carried out in combination with other therapies,which mainly play the role of activating blood and removing stasis and nourishing nerves.
