This study analyzed acupuncture point selection, revealing complex relationships between syndromes and acupoints. Findings suggest most symptoms can be treated with a few key acupoints, offering insights for better treatment strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Traditional Chinese Medicine
  • Acupuncture Research
  • Network Analysis

Context:

  • Acupuncture point selection relies on syndrome differentiation.
  • Existing models lack comprehensive structural analysis.
  • Textbook prescriptions offer a rich data source.

Purpose:

  • To analyze global structural models of acupuncture point prescription.
  • To provide new insights for acupoint selection based on syndrome differentiation.
  • To explore the relationship between syndromes and acupoints using network analysis.

Summary:

  • Constructed a directed network of 233 syndromes and 232 acupoints from common textbooks.
  • Identified 1,635 syndrome-acupoint combinations.
  • Analyzed linkage distributions, revealing random patterns for symptom-to-acupoint selection and scale-free properties for acupoint-to-symptom matching.
