Abstract:Objective To explore the law of point selection and compatibility of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of Ménière’s disease (MD) by using data mining. Methods The clinical literatures of acupuncture and moxibustion in treatment of MD from China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database and VIP database from inception to October 2021 were searched, and the acupuncture and moxibustion point prescription database was established. SPSS Statistics 26.0 and Rversion 3.6.1 were used for descriptive analysis, cluster analysis and association rule analysis. Results According to the analysis of the frequency of 142 acupuncture and moxibustion prescriptions, the point frequency analysis showed that bǎihuì, fēngchí, nèiguān, tàichōng, and zúsānlǐ were used more frequently; the most commonly used channels were the governor channel and gallbladder channel; the specific points were mainly crossing point. Cluster analysis results showed that points with frequency ≥15 could be grouped into four categories. Association rule analysis results showed that bǎihuì and fēngchí had the highest support degree, while nèiguān, zúsānlǐ, and fēnglóng had the highest promotion degree. Conclusion Through data mining technology, it is found that acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of MD has the characteristics of paying attention to local point selection, yang channel selection, crossing point selection, and remote point selection, which can provide some reference for clinical acupuncture and moxibustion point selection.
