Abstract:
Objective To provide reference for the clinical use of Baihui acupoint(GV20)in treating diseases,the rules of clinical application of GV20 in ancient literature through data mining technology was analyzed.Methods"Zhong Hua Yi Dian"was searched by computer for relevant papers involving GV20 in the main treatment of illnesses,the main treatment of illnesses by combining other acupoints,and the treatment methods.After organizing the included articles into a database,Microsoft Excel 2021 was used to analyze the frequency of diseases and the use of acupoint pairing,attribution to meridians and special points,and IBM SPSS STATISTIC 27 software was used to analyze the cluster analysis of high-frequency compatible acupoints.Results Valid prescriptions from 209 medical books,including Zhen Jiu Da Cheng(The Great Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion),containing 311 compatible acupoints,were screened and summarized.The main treatment conditions of GV20 mainly included internal medicine,surgery,gynecology,pediatrics and other disciplines,with the brain and liver and gallbladder systems of internal medicine as the main diseases.The top 5 frequency acupoints were Quchi(LI11),Hegu(LI4),Shenting(GV24),Zusanli(ST36),and Shangxing(GV23),and the most frequently involved meridians were Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang,Governor Vessel,and Gallbladder Meridian of Foot-Shaoyang.The compatible acupoints mainly distributed in the head and neck.The special points with the highest frequency of collocation were Five-Shu acupoints,confluent acupoints,and Back-Shu acupoints.In the cluster analysis,the icicle diagram showed 2 effective clusters and the dendrogram 4 clusters of acupoints.Conclusion The main treatment range of GV20 in ancient medical texts is wide,and the main treatment range can be enlarged by pairing,emphasizing the use of moxibustion,which can provide a reference for modern clinical treatment.
