Abstract: A great number of reflexologies use ancient concepts which do not coincide with the modern medical terminology of anatomy, physiology and biophysics. This substantially reduces the trust of physicians in this direction of their profession. During the research, several mathematical models of the internal and biological active points of meridian structures interaction have been proposed. The analysis of these models allowed specifying the list of diseases for which the reflex diagnostics and reflex therapy methods are most effective and also increase the effectiveness of these procedures. It is shown that good results for the prediction and early diagnosis of diseases from the reaction energy of biologically active points (acupuncture points) are obtained by using fuzzy logic decision-making.

Keywords: acupuncture points; fuzzy logic; diagnostically important points; DIP; confidence factors; membership functions; stomach diseases; prenosological diagnosis; mathematical modelling; biological active points; meridian structures interaction; reflex diagnostics; reflex therapy; early diagnosis; reaction energy.
