Abstract:Objective To explore clinical acupoint selection rule of acupuncture in the treatment of functional irregular menstruation based on data mining. Methods Relevant literatures on acupuncture in the treatment of functional dysmenorrhea in CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed database were searched. The database of acupoint selection prescription was established. Descriptive analysis, association rule analysis and cluster analysis were used to analyze the data. Results The prescription of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of functional irregular menstruation involved 40 acupoints, which were distributed in 10 meridians, most of which focus on ren meridian. Sānyīnjiāo, guānyuán and qìhǎi were the most frequently used acupoints. Acupoints were mostly distributed in the chest, abdomen, lower limbs and back. In the selection of specific acupoints, intersection acupoints were used most frequently. According to the association rules analysis, sānyīnjiāo-guānyuán had the highest correlation, and five effective clusters were obtained by cluster analysis. Conclusion Through the analysis of the data, the commonly used acupoints, meridians and compatibility rules of acupuncture in the treatment of functional irregular menstruation are preliminarily obtained. In the treatment of acupuncture and moxibustion, it embodies the idea of the combination of meridian syndrome differentiation and viscera syndrome differentiation, and uses a variety of acupoint matching methods, which provides a theoretical reference for clinical practice.
