Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a debilitating condition that has garnered considerable attention from pain physicians due to its association with the or Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV). In this study, we aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis to quantitatively assess the research outcomes related to PHN and VZV over the past two decades (2003-2022).
UNASSIGNED: We conducted a bibliometric analysis by querying the Web of Science database for articles related to PHN published from 2003 to 2022. In this analysis, we collected relevant information from the database including the number of publications, publication year, source, country, institution, and citation data.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 1073 publications were extracted from the database, with 387 articles (36.1%) being authored by individuals from the United States, making it the leading country in terms of article publications. The top ten institutions that made significant contributions to research on PHN and VZV were primarily concentrated within the United States. Notably, the New England Journal of Medicine and Pain claimed the two highest positions in terms of citation count, with 2482 and 1591 citations, respectively. The topics covered in these articles mainly revolved around \"Postherpetic Neuralgia\", \"Herpes Zoster\", \"Epidemiology\", \"Vaccine\", and \"Quality-of-life\".
UNASSIGNED: Over the past two decades, there has been a gradual increase in publications on PHN and VZV, demonstrating significant advancements in academic achievements. Vaccines have proven effective in reducing PHN incidence among the elderly, but there is a lack of research on interventional treatments and underlying mechanisms. To elevate evidence-based medicine, researchers should conduct more controlled clinical trials. Additionally, leveraging pathogenesis research findings can lead to the development of better pain relief medications.

摘要：
■疱疹后神经痛（PHN）是一种使人衰弱的疾病，由于其与水痘带状疱疹病毒（VZV）有关，引起了疼痛医师的极大关注。在这项研究中,我们旨在进行文献计量学分析,以定量评估过去20年(2003-2022年)与PHN和VZV相关的研究结果.
■我们通过查询WebofScience数据库进行了文献计量分析，以获取2003年至2022年发布的与PHN相关的文章。在这个分析中,我们从数据库中收集了相关信息，包括出版物的数量，出版年份,来源,国家,机构,和引文数据。
■从数据库中提取了1073种出版物，387篇文章(36.1%)由美国个人撰写，使其成为文章出版物方面的领先国家。对PHN和VZV研究做出重大贡献的十大机构主要集中在美国境内。值得注意的是,《新英格兰医学与疼痛杂志》在引文计数方面排名最高，引用2482和1591，分别。这些文章涵盖的主题主要围绕“带状疱疹后遗神经痛”，\"带状疱疹\",“流行病学”，\"疫苗\",和“生活质量”。
■在过去的二十年里，关于PHN和VZV的出版物逐渐增加，展示学术成就的重大进步。事实证明，疫苗可有效降低老年人的PHN发病率，但是缺乏对介入治疗和潜在机制的研究。为了提升循证医学，研究人员应该进行更多的对照临床试验。此外,利用发病机制研究结果可以开发更好的止痛药物。
