Abstract:Objective To explore the law of acupoint selection of acupuncture and moxibustion in treating dysmenorrhea, and to provide a reference for optimizing clinical treatment method. Methods Clinical research literatures of acupuncture and moxibustion in treating dysmenorrhea from January 2007 to January 2017 in CNKI database were searched. The database of included literature was established with excel 2007. The frequency analysis, association rule analysis, point pair analysis, cluster analysis and other data mining methods of Chinese medicine medical record knowledge service and sharing system (V1.2.8) were used to analyze acupoint meridian tropism, single acupoint selection and the law of acupoint selection of acupuncture and moxibustion in treating dysmenorrhea. Results A total of 301 acupuncture prescriptions were included, in which, there were 71 acupoints with a total frequency of 1210. Guānyuán was the acupoint with the highest frequency in acupoint selection (196 times, 65.12%). The combination with the highest confidential interval in association rule analysis was guānyuán-zúsānlǐ-sānyīnjiāo, and the combination with the highest support was sānyīnjiāo-guānyuán. The cluster analysis showed that there were two main groups. Total frequency of ren meridian, foot taiyin and spleen meridian was the most. The frequency of single acupoint application was the highest in shénquē. Conclusion Guānyuán-zúsānlǐ-sānyīnjiāo combination can be used for acupuncture and moxibustion in treating dysmenorrhea. It can be combined with other acupoints according to the symptoms in clinical practice. Shénquē is the most used single acupoint.
