Abstract

Objectives: To summarize the acupoint compatibility regularity and application characteristics of moxibustion in the treatment of cognitive impairment disorders through data mining technology.

Methods: Eligible clinical studies of moxibustion for treatment of cognitive disorders were searched from databases of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, and SinoMed from the inception of the databases to August 3^rd, 2024 and according to our inclusion and exclusion criteria. Then, a new database for moxibustion treatment of cognitive impairment disorders was established to conduct the standardized processing and frequency analysis using Microsoft Excel 2019. The association rule analysis was performed using the Apriori algorithm of IBM SPSS Modeler 18.0 software. A complex network diagram of high-frequency co-occurring acupoints (stronger compatibility connection between acupoints) was drawn using Cytoscape 3.10.2 software, and the cluster analysis was performed using Origin Lab version 2021 software.

Results: A total of 121 articles were included, containing 139 prescriptions and 66 acupoints, with a total frequency of acupoints being 633. The top six acupoints in order are Baihui(GV20), Zusanli (ST36), Shenting (GV24), Dazhui(GV14), Sanyinjiao(SP6) and Shenshu (BL23), and the main meridian selected is the Governer Vessel. The frequently used acupoints mostly distributed in head, face and the lower limbs. Among the specific acupoints, the intersection acupoints are the most frequently used. Among the association rules, GV20-GV24 and ST36-SP6 had the highest support degree. Cluster analysis showed that the acupoints can be divided into 4 groups. The simple moxibustion method is mostly used, and the mild moxibustion is the first one. The mostly used number of moxa-cones is 3, moxibustion duration is 30 min each time, a single course of treatment is 6 times a week, and the total course of treatment is 8 weeks.

Conclusions: In the treatment of cognitive impairment disorders, the main acupoints frequently employed are GV20, GV24, GV14, ST36, SP6 and BL23. With an appropriate moxibustion dosage, a good clinical effect can be achieved.

[穴位配伍规律及艾灸治疗认知障碍的应用特点分析]。

目的：通过数据挖掘技术，总结艾灸治疗认知功能障碍的腧穴配伍规律及应用特点。方法：从PubMed、Embase、Cochrane Library、Web of Science、CNKI、万方、VIP、国药网等数据库中检索自建库至2024年8月3日的符合条件的艾灸治疗认知障碍的临床研究，并按照纳入和排除标准进行检索。建立艾灸治疗认知功能障碍新数据库，使用Microsoft Excel 2019进行标准化处理和频次分析。关联规则分析采用IBM SPSS Modeler 18.0软件的Apriori算法进行。采用Cytoscape 3.10.2软件绘制高频共现腧穴（腧穴之间的相容性连接更强）的复杂网络图，采用Origin Lab版本2021软件进行聚类分析。结果：共纳入文献121篇，处方139张，穴位66个，总频次633个。前六个穴位依次为百会（GV20）、足三里（ST36）、神庭（GV24）、大椎（GV14）、三阴交（SP6）和肾俞（BL23），主经络选用督脉。常用穴位多分布在头部、面部和下肢。在具体的穴位中，交点是最常用的。在关联规则中，GV20-GV24和ST36-SP6的支持度最高。聚类分析表明，这些穴位可分为4组。多采用简易艾灸法，以温和艾灸为主。艾灸锥最多使用3根，每次灸时30分钟，单疗程每周6次，总疗程8周。结论：GV20、GV24、GV14、ST36、SP6、BL23是治疗认知功能障碍常用的主要穴位。适当的艾灸剂量，可取得良好的临床效果。

期刊介绍： Acupuncture Research was founded in 1976. It is an acupuncture academic journal supervised by the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, co-sponsored by the Institute of Acupuncture of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences and the Chinese Acupuncture Association. This journal is characterized by "basic experimental research as the main focus, taking into account clinical research and reporting". It is the only journal in my country that focuses on reporting the mechanism of action of acupuncture. The journal has been changed to a monthly journal since 2018, published on the 25th of each month, and printed in full color. The manuscript acceptance rate is about 10%, and provincial and above funded projects account for about 80% of the total published papers, reflecting the latest scientific research results in the acupuncture field and has a high academic level. Main columns: mechanism discussion, clinical research, acupuncture anesthesia, meridians and acupoints, theoretical discussion, ideas and methods, literature research, etc.
