Abstract:
Objective:To analyze acupoint massage treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy point selection rules and practices for clinical treatment to provide evidence-based.Methods:Data mining was used to retrieve the relevant literature on acupressure for diabetic peripheral neuropathy from China Journal Full Text Database, Wanfang, VIP, and China Biomedical Literature Database, with a search time frame from the date of database creation to April 27, 2022. An Excel thematic database was created, then clustering analysis was performed by SPSS 25.0.Results:A total of 104 articles were included in the literature, with 49 acupoints. The commonly used acupoints in the lower limbs were Zusanli, Sanyinjiao, Taixi, Yongquan, etc. The commonly used acupoints in the upper limbs were Hegu, Quchi and Neiguan. The commonly used acupoints in the trunk were Guanyuan, Zhongwan and Shenshu. The frequency of the five acupoints was the highest, accounting for 59.40%(335/564). The meridians were mainly the spleen meridian of foot Taiyin, the kidney meridian of foot Shaoyin and the stomach meridian of foot Yangming, among them, the frequency of the spleen meridian of foot Taiyin was the highest, accounting for 22.7%(128/564). Three effective clusters were obtained by analyzing massage acupoints and manipulations.Conclusions:According to the analysis, high-frequency acupoints are mainly distributed in the three meridians of foot Taiyin spleen meridian, foot Shaoyin kidney meridian and foot Yangming stomach meridian. In the future, acupoint selection and massage techniques can be further standardized and supplemented by acupoint massage along meridians to explore its clinical effect on diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
