Objective: To analyze the acupoints selection rules in the treatment of functional dyspepsia using complex network technology. Method: This paper uses "functional dyspepsia" and "acupuncture" as searching terms, searches the Chinese and English literature included in the five major databases of Pubmed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Sino Med, VIP and Wanfang databases until August 2021, and performs data mining and visualization of prescriptions so as to analyze the pattern of acupoints. Results: 128 papers involving 40 acupoints were selected. The top three acupoints in terms of frequency of acupuncture are Zusanli (ST 36), Neiguan (PC 6) and Zhongwan (RN 12);these three acupuncture points have the highest support for alliance. The core prescriptions for acupuncture in the treatment of functional dyspepsia can be divided into four following categories. The first category is ST 36, PC 6, Gongsun (SP 4), Neiting (ST 44), and Yinlingquan (SP 9);the second category is RN 12, Tianshu (ST 25), Guangyuan (RN 4), Qihai (RN 6), and Xiawan (RN 10);the third category is Zhangmen (IR 10), Liangmen (ST 21), Qimen (IR 14), Taichong (IR 3), and Sanyinjiao (SP 6);and the fourth category includes Weishu (BL 21), Pishu (BL 20), and Ganshu (BL18). Conclusion: The top three meridians with the highest frequency of acupuncture for functional dyspepsia are the Stomach Meridian of Foot-Yangming, the Conception Vessel and the Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang. This paper analyses the prescription of acupuncture for functional dyspepsia through a complex network, which can more effectively summarize the pattern of acupuncture point selection from various aspects.
