Methods: With data mining technology, clinical literatures related to acupuncture-moxibustion for dyspepsia published between January 1997 and July 2018 were collected from major Chinese databases, and the treatment methods, point and meridian frequencies were summarized and analyzed. Results: A total of 106 studies were included. 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. Conclusion: The 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.展开更多

Randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of Banxiaxiexin Tang for the treatment of FD were selected according to certain standards including clear general situation of patients, specific diagnostic criteria, definite clinical outcomes, etc. Articles were evaluated with quality assessment standards in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Meta-analysis was conducted with RevMan 5.0.23 software.RESULTS: Ten articles with a total of 972 patients were included. The comparison of efficacy between Banxiaxiexin Tang and Western Medicine showed a combined effect size [OR=2.75, 95% CI(1.86-4.07)]andcombinedeffectofvalueofZ=5.07(P<0.000 01),suggesting a significant difference between the groups.CONCLUSION: Banxiaxiexin Tang was more effective thanWestern Medicine in treating FD.展开更多
