Objective To discuss the rules of acupoint selection and compatibility in Tuina manipulation for lung rehabilitation based on data mining technique. Methods Acupoints prescriptions of Tuina manipulation for pulmonary rehabilitation released from the establishment of these database to March 1, 2020 by online databases such as CNKI, Wanfang medical network and VIP database were collected and sorted.The frequency of used acupoints, the association rules between the acupoints as well as the new prescriptions for the massage were determined through the Chinese Medicine inheritance system V2.5. Results A total of 17 articles were included with 22 effective prescriptions, in which acupoints mainly belong to Conception Vessel(CV), Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang(BL), Lung Meridian of Hand-Taiyin(LU), Governance Vessel(GV)and Stomach Meridian of Foot-Yangming. The used acupoints with the highest frequency were Fèishū(肺俞BL13), Shènshū(肾俞BL23), Dìngchuǎn(定喘EX-B1), etc. The combinations of acupoints with the highest frequency were Fèishū(肺俞BL13)with Shènshū(肾俞BL23), and Fèishū(肺俞BL13)with Dìngchuǎn(定喘EX-B1),etc. The core combinations were Yīngǔ(阴谷KI10)-Dìngchuǎn(定喘EX-B1)-Tiāntū(天突CV22), Yīngǔ(阴谷KI10)-Dìngchuǎn(定喘EX-B1)-Géshū(膈俞BL17), etc. New prescriptions were formed including Yīngǔ(阴谷KI10), Dìngchuǎn(定喘EX-B1), Tiāntū(天突CV22),Tàixī(太溪KI3), Fèishū(肺俞BL13)and Géshū(膈俞BL17), etc. Conclusion It can be seen from the data mining analysis techniquethat Tuina manipulationcan could strengthen the antipathogenic qi and improve pulmonary function in lung rehabilitation. It provides a treatment idea for early lung rehabilitation in COVID-19 convalescent patients.
