title: [Design and implementation of the platform for clustering analysis on acupuncture manipulation parameters].
abstract: Acupuncture manipulation is the pivotal factor for conferring clinical efficacy of acupuncture. By retrieving in the scientific research data base and acquiring the characteristics of acupuncture manipulation parameters, we studied the cluster-algorithm on parameter analyses and implemented clustering analysis of acupuncture manipulation parameters. Then we disclose the inherent method of needling. Thus, it can be used as a theoretical base for the studies on standard, normalization and quantification of the acupuncture manipulation parameter.
