Abstract:
[Objective]To analyze the prescriptions for the differentiation,treatment and application in the Treatise on Three Categories of Pathogenic Factors regarding low back pain by using data mining technology,and to explore CHEN Wuze's understanding of low back pain as well as the rules for prescribing medications.[Methods]Prescriptions that met the inclusion criteria were screened to establish a database.The IBM SPSS Modeler 18.0 software was used for association rule analysis,and the SPSS statistics 26.0 software was adopted for drug frequency statistics and cluster analysis.Combined with ancient literature records,CHEN's understanding of low back pain,treatment ideas and medication rules were analyzed.[Results]A total of 63 prescriptions were included,involving 143 types of Chinese medicinal herbs with a total frequency of 581 applications.Seventeen high-frequency herbs were identified,primarily including roasted licorice(Glycyrrhiza uralensis),poria(Poria cocos),ginger(Zingiber officinale),aconite(Aconitum carmichaelii),white peony root(Paeonia lactiflora),and cinnamon bark(Cinnamomum cassia).Common herb pairs included"Atractylodes macrocephala-Poria cocos","Poria cocos-Cinnamomum cassia"and"Cinnamomum cassia-Angelica sinensis".The predominant therapeutic effects involved tonifying and deficiency-replenishing medicinals.Medicinal properties were mainly warm,neutral and cold,with sweet,pungent and bitter flavors predominating.Herbs primarily entered the spleen,kidney and lung meridians.Cluster analysis categorized high-frequency herbs into three groups associated with functions such as dispelling wind and eliminating dampness,tonifying the liver and kidney,relaxing tendons and nourishing blood and warming Yang to resolve dampness.[Conclusion]CHEN's approach to treating low back pain emphasizes differentiation and treatment based on the three etiological factors(internal,external and non-internal/external causes),and a spleen-stomach-focused treatment strategy.Core therapeutic principles included strengthening the spleen to eliminate dampness,warming Yang to resolve dampness and warming/unblocking blood vessels.This article summarizes and extracts the medication rules and academic thoughts of CHEN from the Yongjia medical school in treating lumbago,which has reference value for the clinical treatment of lumbago.
