Trends in deqi research: a text mining and network analysis

Abstract: BackgroundDeqi is a term describing a special state of the human body, which is ready to cure itself through acupuncture stimulation and is believed to be a key factor in acupuncture treatment. However, knowledge about deqi remains subjective. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine the factors related to deqi generation based on present studies to promote the progression of deqi research.MethodsA term frequency–inverse document frequency (Tf-idf) was used to extract key elements from the abstracts of … Show more

“…Many researchers invented some delicate applications or manipulations focusing on penetrating or not, puncturing in the surface skin or in the muscles, generating the deqi sensation or not [47][48][49], which are quite not suitable to blind Chinese patients who maybe own personal acupuncture treatment experience, have the conception of deqi or even know locations of some acupoints. In clinical practice, despite the deqi sensation leans towards appearing in verum acupuncture group, the sham one can also generate weak or moderate feelings [50,51]. Hence, we don't overemphasize the experience of deqi in SATG.…”

“…Additionally, ontology-based systems have different purposes, for example, identifying pathways using pharmacogenomics data [28] and selecting gene candidates [29]. Other methods are based on network analysis [30] and biological knowledge graphs [31]. In addition, TM has been combined with methods from bioinformatics.…”
