脊髓电刺激治疗神经病理性疼痛的文献计量学分析

A bibliometric analysis of spinal cord stimulation for neuropathic pain

摘要:

目的：采用CiteSpace和VOSviewer 软件分析近30年来脊髓电刺激治疗神经病理性疼痛的研究现状和热点。方法：检索1993-2023年Web of Science 核心数据库中关于脊髓电刺激治疗神经病理性疼痛的文献,将检索出的文献以全文本记录格式导出,应用CiteSpace和VOSviewer软件对文献的发文量、国家、期刊、机构和关键词进行计量学分析及可视化呈现。结果：共纳入符合条件的文献864篇,从发文量来看2020、2021年是发文的巅峰时期；从文献来源来看美国在本领域处于领先地位,我国与其他发达国家在本领域的研究上仍存在差距；通过对关键词共现、突现和聚类分析可知,脊髓电刺激的各种新兴刺激模式是目前的研究热点。结论：脊髓电刺激仍是目前神经病理性疼痛研究的热点,而各种新兴刺激模式更是研究的重点；目前关于脊髓电刺激治疗机制的研究仍较少,这也是未来的一个重要研究方向。

Abstract:

Objective: This study aims to analyze the research status and hotspots of spinal cord stimulation for neuropathic pain in the past 30 years using CiteSpace and VOSviewer software. Methods: Literature on spinal cord stimulation for neuropathic pain from 1993 to 2023 was retrieved from the Web of Science core database. The retrieved literature was exported in full-text format and subjected to bibliometric analysis and visualization using CiteSpace and VOSviewer software to analyze the publication volume, countries, journals, institutions, and keywords. Results: A total of 864 eligible articles were included. The peak period of publication was in 2020 and 2021. The United States was the leading country in this field, while China and other developed countries still lagged behind in research. Through co-occurrence, burst, and clustering analysis of keywords, it was found that various emerging stimulation modes of spinal cord stimulation are currently the research hotspots. Conclusion: Spinal cord stimulation is still a hotspot in the research of neuropathic pain, and various emerging stimulation modes are the focus of research. Currently, there is still limited research on its therapeutic mechanisms, which is an important direction for future research.
