Objective: To analyse the effective combination drugs of GAN Zu-wang formulae in preventing and treating the ear disease. Method: One hundred and one formulas were selected from the public documents about professor GAN Zu-wang
the fuzzy clustering and frequent pattern tree algorithm were used to analyse the core medicine groups and the basic formulas by similarity matching in medicine efficacy and composition. Result: One hundred and one prescriptions were divided into 9 medicine groups
11 basic formulas were recognized
and the mainly formulas were those for regulating spleen-stomach and benefiting qi-xie such as Bu-zhong-yi-qi-tang
Si-jun-zi-tang and Ba-zheng-tang. Conclusion: Regulating spleen and stomach was professor GAN Zu-wang’s specialized treatment experience for ear disease
the method of data mining could provide interesting rules for understanding the academic thoughts of the famous and respected doctor of traditional Chinese medicine.
