In this study, we used SPSS Statistics26.0 and SPSS modeler 18.0 to conduct data mining on acupuncture points for the thalamic pain (TP). By analyzing 47 acupoint prescriptions, we have found that Sanyinjiao(SP 6), Neiguan(PC 6) and Shuigou(Du 26) are in the first three frequencies of use. And in the analysis of acupoint correlation degree, the support degree of Shuigou(Du 26)-Neiguan(PC 6) was 37.91% in the combination of two acupoints, and that of Sanyinjiao(SP 6)-Neiguan(PC 6)-Shuigou(Du 26) was 27.65% in the combination of three acupoints. From these results we conclue that the core prescription for acupuncture treatment of TP is mostly "Shuigou (Du 26)-Neiguan(PC 6) -Sanyinjiao(SP 6)".
