Objective To analyze the superiorities of acupoint catgut-embedding therapy, discuss its law of clinical application and provide scientific decision-making for clinical treatment. Methods Literatures on acupoint catgut-embed- ding therapy in the recent 40 years were selected, input, examined and verified, picked up and analyzed by establishing da- tabase with the modern computer technology. Results ① One thousand and seventy-five literatures were input. It shows that the acupoint catgut-embedding therapy has an extensive application in all departments, especially in the internal de- partment, accounting for 48.54 % （50/103） of the total disease category. It has the most extensive application on treat- ment of epigastric pain, with the frequency of 102 times, and obesity of 74 times. The next is surgery, accounting for 14. 56% （15/103）. The major application is on low back pain and leg pain with the frequency of 79 times. Psoriasis, with the frequency of 30 times, holds the major application in dermatological department. And blepharoplasty, with the fre- quency of 30 times, gains the most application in department of ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology. ② In the inclu- ded literatures, selection of adjacent acupoints and distal acupoints are held as the major method of acupoint selection. The adjusted lumbar puncture needle is taken as the major tool for the acupoim catgut-embedding therapy. And catguts of different sizes are adopted for the operation. ③ Analysis of the therapeutic effect shows that aeupoint catgut-embedding the- rapy has obvious effect in all departments, especially in surgery and dermatology, with the total effective rate over 90%. Conclusion Epigastric pain, obesity, epilepsy, asthma, abdominal pain, facial paralysis and constipation of the internal medicine, low back pain and leg pain of the surgical department, psoriasis of the dermatological department and blepharo- plasty of the department of ophthalmology and otorhinolaryngology are considered as the dominant diseases for a
