For meridians, the top 5 meridians used were the Stomach Meridian, Conception Vessel, Spleen Meridian, Liver Meridian and Pericardium Meridian. For point selection, the leading 5 points were Zusanli (ST 36), Zhongwan (CV 12), Shangwan (CV 13), Xiawan (CV 10) and Sanyinjiao (SP 6). For major and adjunct points, the 5 most significant major points were Zusanli (ST 36), Zhongwan (CV 12), Neiguan (PC 6), Sanyinjiao (SP 6) and Shangwan (CV 13); the 5 most significant adjunct points were Neiting (ST 44), Qihai (CV 6), Fenglong (ST 40), Yinlingquan (SP 9) and Tianshu (ST 25). For treatment method, the top 3 methods used were moxibustion alone, acupuncture alone and acupuncture combined with medicinal herbs.ConclusionThe main meridian chosen in acupuncture-moxibustion for dyspepsia was the Stomach Meridian, and the points were mainly selected from the Stomach Meridian; treatment method was moxibustion alone, which may provide reference for clinical treatment of this disease.摘要目的对近二十年针灸治疗功能性消化不良的临床文献进行数据分析, 总结针灸治疗功能性消化不良选 穴规律和治疗方法, 为针灸治疗功能性消化不良的临床应用提供参考依据。方法运用数据挖掘的方法, 检索 1997年1月至2018年7月间国内各大中文数据库中针灸治疗功能性消化不良的临床研究文献, 并进行筛选和整理, 对所纳入文献中的治疗方法、腧穴和经络的使用频率进行归纳总结与分析。结果共纳入符合标准的文献106篇。 经络使用频率前5位的依次为胃经、任脉、脾经、肝经和心包经。腧穴使用频率前5位的依次为足三里、中脘、 上脘、下脘和三阴交。从腧穴配伍角度分析, 主穴使用频率前5位的依次为足三里、中脘、内关、三阴交和上脘; 配穴使用频率前5位的依次为内庭、气海、丰隆、阴陵泉和天枢。治疗方法使用前三位的依次是单纯灸法、单纯 针刺和针刺加药物。结论针灸治疗功能性消化不良主要以胃经为主, 选穴亦以胃经穴位为主, 治疗方法主要以 单纯灸法为主, 可为临床治疗本病提供参考依据。
