Abstract:
Objective:To explore the acupoint selection law in acupuncture and moxibustion in treating postpartum incontinence by using data mining technology.Methods:The clinical research literature on acupuncture and moxibustion treatment for postpartum incontinence was retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, CBM, China Medical Journal Full-text Database, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science from the establishment of the databases to February 1, 2023. The acupoint prescription database was established using Excel 2016 and conducting frequency statistics of acupoints, meridians and specific acupoints. Clustering analysis was performed using SPSS Statistics 25.0, and association rule analysis was performed using SPSS Modeler 18.0.Results:A total of 70 articles were included, involving 70 acupuncture prescriptions and including 31 acupoints with a total frequency of 384 times. The top five acupoints were Sanyinjiao (SP6, 46 times), Guanyuan (CV4, 45 times), Zusanli (ST36, 43 times), Zhongji (RN3, 41 times), and Qihai (CV6, 38 times). The commonly used meridians were Conception Vessel, bladder meridian and spleen meridian. The involved acupoints were mostly located in the lower limbs and belly, and most of them were Jiaohui, Mu and Wushu acupoints. Five effective clustering groups were obtained by clustering analysis of high frequency acupoints. The core acupoint combination of association rules was Sanyinjiao (SP6)-Zusanli (ST36)-Guanyuan (CV4)-Qihai (CV6)-Zhongji (RN3).Conclusions:The pathogenesis of postpartum urinary incontinence is mainly characterized by qi deficiency. Acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of postpartum urinary incontinence follows the principles of invigorating qi and tonifying spleen, nourishing lung and tonifying kidney, paying attention to the use of acupoints in abdomen and lower limbs, and using the methods of upper and lower acupoints, anterior and posterior acupoints.
