Data mining⁃based analysis of clinical advantages of combining acupuncture and medicines in treating asthma and acupoint selection rules
To systematically review clinical research literature on the combination of acupuncture and medicines for the treatment of asthma, and discuss its potential clinical advantages and acupoint selection rules based on data mining.
Methods
2
Clinical researchs from the past 20 years were retrieved from databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WanFang Data, Chinese Scientific Journal Database (VIP), SinoMed, PubMed, Web of science, Embase, and Scoups. A “Database on Treating Asthma with Combination of Acupuncture and Medicines” was established, with frequency statistics and tools like SPSS Modeler 18.0 and Gephi 0.10.1 used for data analysis.
Results
2
①The advantage of acupuncture primarily lay in the regulation of target organ functions and multiple blood biochemical indicators (such as immune function indicators and serum inflammatory factors); the advantage of Chinese medicines was their ability to further enhance pulmonary ventilation functions; the combined use of acupuncture and Chinese medicines could significantly improve the clinical efficacy in asthma patients. ②The top five acupoints in the importance ranking for treating asthma with acupuncture were Feishu (BL13), Dingchuan (CV22), Zusanli (ST36), Shenshu (BL23), and Danzhong (CV17). Association rule analysis showed that the highest support was for Dingchuan (CV22)-Feishu (BL13), followed by Pishu (BL20)-Feishu (BL13), and the Bladder Meridian of Foot Taiyang and the Lung Meridian of Hand Taiyin were the most commonly used meridians. ③The acupoint prescriptions that can demonstrate the advantages of acupuncture emphasized local point selection, meridian-based point selection, and upper and lower points coordination.
Conclusions
2
The combination of acupuncture and medicines for asthma treatment is a major factor in improving therapeutic efficacy. Its clinical advantage lies in balancing both local and holistic aspects. The clinical practice of treating both symptoms and root causes, focusing on the lungs, selecting local points, and combining distant and nearby points reflects one of the advantages of acupuncture. This article provides a new insight into the scientific application of the combination of acupuncture and medicines.
