Objective:We searched for clinical trails which used acupuncture and moxibustion to treat functional dyspepsia before March,2007,the language was limited to English and Chinese and no matter the state.Analysis prescription,then summarize the regularity of Applying of fourteen meridians and points.Just use FD as the carrying agent to dig the general regularity in clinical trails.Methods:Retrieve OVID MEDLINE(1970 to March,2007),PUBMED(1980 to March,2007), EMBASE(1984 to March,2007),CMBdisc(1970 to March,2007),CNKI(1979 to March,2007),VIP(1989 to March,2007),wanfang database etc.Clinical trials which were published in acupuncture journals and other important journals were searched also.Intervention including acupuncture,moxibustion,electric acupuncture,dermal needle,Transcetaneous Electrical Stimulation,Laser acupuncture and so on.Eligible studies were included.Two reviewers assessed the methodological quality and exacted the data independently.Extracting the data of fourteen meridians in these studies.Counted and analyzed the regularity of acupoints,meridians and special acupoints in Data excavation process.Result:①The analysis of acupoints.46 acupoints used 320 times,the result of frequency suggest that zusanli(ST36),zhongwan(CV12),neiguan(PC6),weishu(BL21),tianshu(ST42) are mostly used;Association analysis of subdivision suggest that the most acupoints on the lower limbs,then breast,abdomen,back,foot,extremitas supedor and hand;Compatibility analysis of acupoints suggest that the topmost sustain is zhongwan(?) zusanli.②The analysis of channel:The Sunjiao Channel of Hand-Shaoyang and The Small Intestine Channel of hand-Taiyang are not included.Acupoints concentrate on The Stomach Channel of Foot-Yangming,Renmai,The urinary bladder Channel of Foot-Taiyang and The Pericardium Channel Of Hand-Jueyin.③The analysis of special points,37 were specific acpoints,the analysis of category of special acupoints suggest that Five Shu Points are mostly used,then lower He Point,Eight Meeting Point,Intersection Points etc;the lower He point of stomach is mostly used;Association Rule Mining of specific acupoints suggest that the topmost sustain is Back Shu Point(?) Five Shu Points,then Five Shu Points(?) Source Point,Five Shu Points(?) Network Point.Conclusions:The good therapeutic efficacy of treating FD by acupuncture and moxibustion is just established on the" selection of points on the affected channel" and "the convergence of meridian-Qi ",the conclusion will prodive literature evidence in electing meridian and point in clinical practice.
