Abstract:
[Objective]To analyze the manipulation and acupoint selection rules of Tuina treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis(AIS).[Methods]Clinical research literature on Tuina treatment for AIS was searched in databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),VIP Database,WanFang Data,China Biology Medicine disc(CBMdisc)and PubMed from database establishment date to November 31,2024.Frequency statistics,association rules and cluster analysis were performed on the data by using R Studio 4.3.0 software,and the analysis results were visualized.[Results]A total of 122 clinical research articles on Tuina treatment for AIS were included,among which 116 were Chinese articles and 6 were English articles.These studies were extracted 122 tuina prescriptions,which involved 75 types of Tuina techniques,with a total application frequency of 376 times.The technique with the highest application frequency was the kneading method.A total of 19 acupoint prescriptions were extracted,involving 48 acupoints with a frequency of 119,among which Shenshu was the most frequently used acupoint.The acupoints mainly belonged to the Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang,the Governing Vessel,the Kidney Meridian of Foot-Shaoyin,the Liver Meridian of Foot-Jueyin and some Extra-meridian Points.Among the combinations of manipulations and acupoints,kneading and Shenshu were used most frequently in combination with other manipulations and acupoints.Association rule network analysis showed that Dachangshu,Shenshu,Weizhong and Chengfu were strongly correlated among acupoints;kneading,pressing and Tuina were strongly correlated among manipulations.In the cluster analysis results,high-frequency acupoints formed 5 effective clusters and high-frequency manipulations formed 3 effective clusters.[Conclusion]Tuina treatment of AIS mainly uses loosening and pulling manipulations as a supplement,focusing on adjusting the balance of Yin and Yang of the spine;the selection of acupoints is mainly in local part combined with those along the meridians.
