Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition that affects many males. Physical therapy (PT) is the one potential treatment for ED that may improve blood flow, muscle strength, and other factors that may contribute to the issue. Data on the prevalence and trends of research on PT for ED are lacking.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the literature trends in PT for ED via bibliometric and visualized analysis.
METHODS: Data on publications were collected from Scopus covering the period between 1989 and 2022. To refine the data, bibliometric analyses were conducted using Microsoft Access, Microsoft Excel, an online visualization platform, and BiblioAnalytics. Power BI and Bibliomaster were used to generate figures and tables, while Biblioshiny and VOSviewer were used for visualization.
RESULTS: A total of 494 documents were identified. The year 2019 generated the largest number of publications, with a total of 54. These studies have received 12,917 citations related to PT for ED. The most common document type was the original article with 283 publications. The University of California, USA, was the most productive institution on this topic, with 21 publications and 2,035 citations. The USA led all countries with 114 publications on the topic. The Journal of Sexual Medicine secured the top ranking with an h-index of 18. The main topics studied were erectile dysfunction, shockwave therapy, and physiotherapy.
CONCLUSIONS: The number of publications on PT for ED has demonstrated an upward trend over the last three decades.

摘要：
背景：勃起功能障碍（ED）是一种影响许多男性的疾病。物理治疗（PT）是ED的一种潜在治疗方法，可以改善血液流动，肌肉力量,以及其他可能导致这一问题的因素。缺乏关于EDPT研究的患病率和趋势的数据。
目的：本研究旨在通过文献计量和可视化分析评估EDPT的文献趋势。
方法：从Scopus收集了1989年至2022年的出版物数据。为了完善数据，使用MicrosoftAccess进行文献计量分析，MicrosoftExcel,一个在线可视化平台，和BiblioAnalytics。PowerBI和Bibliomaster用于生成图形和表格，而Biblioshiny和VOSviewer用于可视化。
结果：共确定了494份文件。2019年是出版物数量最多的一年，共54。这些研究已收到12,917条与EDPT相关的引用。最常见的文档类型是具有283种出版物的原始文章。加州大学,美国,是这个话题上最有成效的机构，有21篇出版物和2,035篇引文。美国以114种出版物领先所有国家。《性医学杂志》以18的h指数获得了最高的排名。研究的主要课题是勃起功能障碍，冲击波疗法,和物理治疗。
结论：在过去的三十年中，关于EDPT的出版物数量呈上升趋势。
