Abstract:Objective To explore the point selection rules, association rules and mechanism of action of acupuncture in the treatment of pruritus through data mining. Methods The clinical research literatures on the treatment of pruritus by acupuncture from China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biology Medicine, Wanfang Data, VIP, and PubMed database were retrieved from the inception to December 2021 and the data was established. The main point association rules and cluster analysis were analyzed by using software to calculate the frequency and channel tropism of points. Results A total of 90 literatures were collected, involving 102 points, and the total frequency of points was 615, including 77 specific points and 485 specific points. The top five points used most frequently were xuèhǎi, qūchí, zúsānlǐ, sānyīnjiāo and hégǔ. The most selected points were the large intestine channel and the spleen channel. In addition to the ashi point, the 101 points were mainly distributed on the limbs, followed by the waist and back. In all the specific points, the he-sea point was used the most frequently. In the analysis of association rules, five strong links were obtained, which were: xuèhǎi-qūchí, xuèhǎi-zúsānlǐ, qūchí -zúsānlǐ, xuèhǎi-sānyīnjiāo, and zúsānlǐ-sānyīnjiāo. The 25 most frequent points were selected for cluster analysis, and seven effective clusters were obtained, which were: fēngshì-bǎich?仵ngwō, géshù -fēngmén-wěizhōng, fēngchí-fēngfǔ-dàzhuī-bǎihuì, gānshù-píshù-fèishù-shènshù, yánglíngquán, wàiguān-zhōngwǎn, and zúsānlǐ-sānyīnjiāo-xuèhǎi-qūchí-hégǔ-shénmén-guānyuán-tàichōng-yīnlíngquán. Conclusion The most frequent point selection is xuèhǎi, and the specific point is mainly he-sea point, and the points of the large intestine channel and the spleen channel are more taken. The core of the point compatibility is xuèhǎi, qūchí, and sānyīnjiāo. The selection of points for the treatment of pruritus reflected the thought of syndrome differentiation and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine, emphasizing the interplay between channel circulation and channel qi, and the use of specific points.
