Abstract
    [Objective] To analyze the regularity of acupoint selection,main acupoints and theoretical basis in acupuncture treatment of primary tinnitus by data mining technology. [Methods] Papers collected from databases CNKI,CBM,VIP and WanFang,and collecting prescriptions of acupuncture treatment for primary tinnitus according to the selection criteria. The descriptive analysis,association rules analysis and clustering analysis were conducted by Python. [Results] 1) A total of 268 effective prescriptions were included in acupuncture treatment of primary tinnitus,including 98 acupoints and 1 793 total application frequency,and the acupoints of triple energizer meridian,gall bladder meridian and small intestine meridian were the most commonly used. 2) The local selection of acupoints was dominant. Among them,the use frequency of the acupoints located around the ear was 781 times, accounting for 44.91% of the total frequency. The higher application frequency was Tinggong (SI19),Yifeng (SI17),Tinghui (GB2) in turn. 3) There were some fixed forms in the combination of acupoints,of which Ermen (SJ21),Tinghui (GB2) with the highest degree of support;The outcome of cluster analysis showed that three acupoint groups as the Zhongzhu (SJ3),Ermen (SJ21),Yifeng (SI17),Tinggong (SI19),Tinghui (GB2),etc were frequently used. [Conclusion] It is reasonable and feasible to apply data mining technology in clinical literature research of acupuncture and moxibustion for treating primary tinnitus,which can provide the basis for clinical research and treatment.
