Résumé
Background
Endometriosis, characterized by dysmenorrhea and pelvic pain, is a common gynecological disease. Acupuncture, as a complementary and alternative therapy for endometriosis, has been supported by a large body of clinical evidence. However, due to the heterogeneity of acupoint prescriptions, the commonly used acupoints remain undetermined.
Purpose
This study aims to identify the commonly used acupoint selection and combination patterns for the treatment of endometriosis through a comprehensive data mining analysis based on existing literature.
