Abstract
Objective: To explore the regularity of medication in the treatment of arthralgia syndrome in three “Famous Medical Records”. Systematically explore the rules of drug use in the treatment of BI syndrome, to provide new ideas and theoretical support for modern TCM clinical treatment of Bi syndrome. Method: Using three “Famous Medical Records” as the source of literature, medical records for treating arthralgia syndrome were collected, and a database was established using Excel, IBM SPSS Modeler, and IBM SPSS Statistics software. Drug use, association rules, and drug clustering were analyzed. Result: 323 medical records and 650 prescriptions involving 429 traditional Chinese medicines were collected. The drugs with higher frequency of use include Angelica sinensis, Poria cocos, licorice, cinnamon twig, etc., among which the drugs are mostly drugs for tonifying deficiency and eliminating wind and dampness; The main drug properties are temperature; The medicinal taste is mostly sweet, bitter, and pungent; Drugs are mostly attributed to the liver, spleen, and kidney channels. Common drug compatibility combinations include: Angelica-Chuanxiong, Angelica-Lycium barbarum, etc. A total of 5 drug combinations were obtained through cluster analysis. Conclusion: Through data mining, it is found that the treatment of arthralgia syndrome in the three “Famous Medical Cases” focuses on reinforcing deficiency and balancing deficiency with reality. Multi use blood tonic drugs, Qi tonic drugs, and warming drugs that can eliminate rheumatic arthralgia, to tonify, unblock collaterals, and eliminate arthralgia, achieving the effect of Qi and blood homeostasis; Reuse wind medicine to treat rheumatism together; Be good at using animal drugs, especially insect drugs, to strengthen the health and eliminate pathogenic factors.
