Objective: To discuss the acupoint selection rules of electroacupuncture for treating primary osteopo-rosis（POP） through analyzing relevant clinical research. Methods: The PubMed and CNKI databases were searchedfor published clinical research on treating POP with electroacupuncture. The bibliometric method and Excel 2010 were used to summarize and analyze the selection of acupoints in the literature. Results: A total of 19 studies wereincluded

involving 49 acupoints with a total frequency of 165 times. The treatment methods included electroacu-puncture（26.32%）

electroacupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine（21.05%）

electroacupuncturecombined with Western medicine（10.53%）

electroacupuncture combined with physical therapy（10.53%）

elec-troacupuncture combined with acupoint injection（5.26%）

and comprehensive therapy（26.32%）. Eight studies（42.11%） documented the acupoints electric needles were connected to

while the remaining 11（57.89%） did notmention them; 2 studies（10.53%） indicated the acupoints positive or negative electrodes were connected to. Wave-forms were declared in 16 studies（84.21%）

where 9 studies（37.50%） used a disperse-dense wave and 7 studies（43.75%） used a continuous wave

while the remaining 3 studies（18.75%） did not mention waveforms. The top 10 acupoints in use frequency were Shenshu

Pishu

Mingmen

Zusanli

Weizhong

Guanyuan

Yanglingquan

Xuan-zhong

Jiaji

and Ashi points. The most commonly used specific acupoints were back-shu

five-shu

and crossingpoints. The meridians that contained the acupoints were as following in descending order of the number of acupoints:bladder meridian

governor vessel

gallbladder meridian

conception vessel

stomach meridian

spleen meridian

kidney meridian

large intestine meridian

liver meridian

and pericardium meridian. Conclusion: Electroacupunc-ture for POP mainly involves the acupoints on the bladder meridian

governor vessel

and gallbladder meridian

with an emphasis on the specific acupoints. The therapy underlines an integrated consideration of disease and syn-drome and a combination of far and near acupoints

following the principle of aiming at root causes and also alleviat-ing symptoms.
