Abstract:
Objective To explore the commonly used acupoints and stimulation parameters of electroacupuncture in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN)through data mining.Methods The clinical research literature of electroacupuncture in the treatment of DPN was retrieved from CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,CBM and PubMed from the establishment of the database to May 2023.The database of acupoint selection and electroacupuncture stimulation parameters for electroacupuncture in the treatment of DPN was established.Descriptive statistics,cluster analysis and association rule analysis were performed on the data.Results The 36 prescriptions in the 36 included literatures were analyzed.The top three acupoints with high frequency of use were:Sanyinjiao(SP6),Zusanli(ST36)and Hegu(LI4);acupoints are mainly bladder meridian of foot bladder meridian,stomach meridian of foot yangming,spleen meridian of foot taiyin;through cluster analysis,8 cluster clusters were obtained.The core prescription of'Hegu,Zusanli,Sanyinjiao'was obtained by association rule analysis,and the most supported acupoint combination was'Zusanli-Sanyinjiao'.The most commonly used stimulation parameters were continuous wave,density wave,5 Hz,intensity tolerance,30 minures/time,1 time/day,and the total treatment time was 4 weeks.Conclusion The core acupoints of electroacupuncture in the treatment of DPN are Hegu,Zusanli and Sanyinjiao.Electroacupuncture parameters recommended 5 Hz,continuous wave,30 minutes/time,1 time/day,treatment for 4 weeks.It can provide some reference for clinical acupoint selection and parameter selection of electroacupuncture in the treatment of DPN.
