Literature Research of Acupoint Selection Rules in Acupuncture Treatment of Dysphagia after Stroke
Objective To summarize the point selection rules of acupuncture treatment of dysphagia after stroke.Methods Clinical randomized controlled trials of acupuncture treatment of dysphagia after stroke published from January 2012 to December 2016 were searched in Journal Full-Text Database of China National Knowledge Infrastructure. A literature database of acupuncture treatment of dysphagia after stroke was established based on the information of acupuncture prescriptions extracted from the search results. Frequency analysis of acupoint application
high frequency-acupoints cluster analysis and association rules analysis of point combinations were conducted. Results Totally
105 acupuncture prescriptions were included
with 83 acupoints. Top 3 single points with high use frequency were Lianquan( RN 23)( 71)
Fengchi( GB 20)( 66)
and Jinjin( EX-HN 12)( 48) and Yuye( EX-HN 13)( 48). Sample cluster analysis was made on points with the frequency more than 5. The result showed that the points in the acupuncture prescriptions for dysphagia after stroke could be clustered into 4 categories. Top 3 point-pairs with high support degree of association rule were Jinjin( EX-HN 12)-Yuye( EX-HN 13)( 45. 71%)
Yuye( EX-HN13)-Jinjin( EX-HN 12)( 45. 71%)
Fengchi( GB 20)-Yifeng( TE 17)( 32. 38%)
Fengchi( GB 20)-Wangu( GB 12)( 19. 05%) and Yifeng( TE 17)-Wangu( GB 12)( 19. 05%). The top 3 three-point groups with high support degree of association rule were Jinjin( EX-HN 12)-Yuye( EX-HN 13)-Lianquan( RN 23)( 35. 24%)
Lianquan( RN 23)-Jinjin( EX-HN12)-Fengchi( GB 20)( 32. 38%) and Fengchi( GB 20)-Yifeng( TE 17)-Lianquan( RN 23)( 22. 86%). The top 3 four-point groups with high support degree of association rule were Lianquan( RN 23)-Yuye( EX-HN 13)-Jinjin( EX-HN 12)-Fengchi( GB 20)( 32. 38%)
Lianquan( RN 23)-Yifeng( TE 17)-Yuye( EX-HN 13)-Jinjin( EX-HN 12)( 16. 19%) and Fengchi( GB 20)-Yifeng( TE 17)-Yuye( EX-HN 13)-Jinjin( EX-HN 12)( 16. 19%). Conclusion Point selection in acupuncture treatment of dysphagia after stroke indicates that the local points play a major role. Lianquan( RN 23) is the core point. Jinjin( EX-HN 12)-Yuye( EX-HN 13)
Jinjin( EX-HN 12)-Yuye( EX-HN 13)-Lianquan( RN 23) and Jinjin( EX-HN 12)-Yuye( EX-HN 13)-Lianquan( RN 23)-Fengchi( GB 20) are frequently-used point combinations.
