Multifactor Analysis of Acupuncture-moxibustion Treatment for Depression on the Basis of “Traditional Chinese Medical Acupuncture-moxibustion Information Database”

Objective To investigate and improve the clinical therapeutic effect of acupuncture and moxibustion on depression by reviewing acupuncture-moxibustion literature published from 2004 to 2013. Methods On the basis of "Traditional Chinese medical acupuncture-moxibustion information database", an analysis of multiple factors including commonly used acupoints, commonly used therapeutic methods, number of treatments, HAMD value, disease severity and different etiologies in acupuncture-moxibustion treatment for depression was made by bibliometric analysis, single factor analysis of variance and a t-test. Results A multifactor analysis shows that moderate depression is suitable for acupuncture-moxibustion treatment. The proper number of treatments is from 11 to 20. Baihui and Neiguan are the most frequently used points. Baihui plus Neiguan and Taichong, and Baihui plus Neiguan and Sanyinjiao can be used as the optimal point combinations. Acupuncture is the main therapeutic method. The clinical therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture alone or acupuncture-moxibustion treatment alone is better than that of fluoxetine alone. Acupuncture and moxibustion plus fluoxetine can improve the clinical therapeutic effect. Conclusion Acupuncture-moxibustion treatment has a good effect on depression.
