■经颅交流电刺激(tACS)可以向头皮施加不同强度的电流,调节皮质兴奋性和大脑活动。tACS是一种相对较新的神经调节干预措施,现已广泛用于临床实践。与tACS相关的许多论文已在各种期刊上发表。然而,目前还没有客观、直接地介绍tACS的发展趋势和研究热点的文章。因此,这项研究的目的是使用CiteSpace直观地分析最近与tACS相关的出版物,系统详细地总结了当前该领域的研究热点和趋势,并为未来tACS相关研究提供有价值的信息。
■使用了WebofScience核心馆藏科学引文索引扩展的数据库,并从构建到2023年8月4日进行了搜索。使用CiteSpace分析作者,机构,国家,关键词,共同引用的作者,期刊,和参考。
■总共获得677张纸。从2008年到2023年,出版物数量呈增长趋势,尽管有一些波动。在这一领域最有生产力的国家是德国。出版物数量最多的机构是奥尔登堡的卡尔·冯·奥西茨基大学(n=50)。根据布拉德福德的法律,7种期刊被认为是该领域的核心期刊。赫尔曼,CS是出版物最多的作者(n=40),而Antal,A是共同引用次数最多(n=391)和介数中心性(n=0.16)的作者。疾病,脑神经机制和电刺激是该领域的主要研究领域。tACS在不同疾病中的作用,多部位刺激,综合治疗和评价是未来研究的热点和趋势。
■tACS具有研究价值和研究潜力,越来越多的研究者开始关注它。本文献计量学研究的发现提供了tACS临床研究的现状和趋势,可能有助于研究人员识别热点并探索该领域的新研究方向。
UNASSIGNED: Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) can apply currents of varying intensity to the scalp, modulating cortical excitability and brain activity. tACS is a relatively new neuromodulation intervention that is now widely used in clinical practice. Many papers related to tACS have been published in various journals. However, there are no articles that objectively and directly introduce the development trend and research hotspots of tACS. Therefore, the aim of this study is to use CiteSpace to visually analyze the recent tACS-related publications, systematically and in detail summarize the current research hotspots and trends in this field, and provide valuable information for future tACS-related research.
UNASSIGNED: The database Web of Science Core Collection Science Citation Index Expanded was used and searched from build to 4 August 2023. Using the CiteSpace to analyze the authors, institutions, countries, keywords, co-cited authors, journals, and references.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 677 papers were obtained. From 2008 to 2023, the number of publications shows an increasing trend, albeit with some fluctuations. The most productive country in this field was Germany. The institution with the highest number of publications is Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg (n = 50). According to Bradford\'s law, 7 journals are considered core journals in the field. Herrmann, CS was the author with the most publications (n = 40), while Antal, A was the author with the highest number of co-citations (n = 391) and betweenness centrality (n = 0.16). Disease, neural mechanisms of the brain and electric stimulation are the major research areas in the field. The effect of tACS in different diseases, multi-site stimulation, combined treatment and evaluation are the future research hotspots and trends.
UNASSIGNED: tACS has research value and research potential, and more and more researchers are paying attention to it. The findings of this bibliometric study provide the current status and trends in the clinical research of tACS and may help researchers to identify hotspots s and explore new research directions in this field.
