目的:确定主要贡献者,研究现状,并预测针灸治疗带状疱疹(HZ)和带状疱疹后遗神经痛(PHN)的研究趋势和未来发展前景。
方法:对中国国家知识基础设施(CNKI)进行了系统搜索,维普,万方数据库,和WebofScience核心合集(WoSCC),PubMed,和Scopus数据库。搜索策略包括HZ的相关术语,PHN,针灸,和艾灸.参考类型仅限于文章或评论,发布日期为2014年1月1日至2023年12月31日。使用CiteSpace软件进行数据分析,专注于作者,机构,来源,和关键字分布,和时间趋势。
结果:从中文和英文数据库中确定了总共1612种出版物。分析显示英文资料库的刊物数量呈上升趋势,在2020年观察到显著增加。在中国数据库中,出版活动在2019年和2023年出现了两个高峰。林国华和曾景春是中英文数据库中最多产的作者,分别。成都中医药大学和浙江中医药大学是最活跃的机构。关键词分析显示,“带状疱疹”是中国数据库中最常见的关键词,而“带状疱疹后神经痛,“\”针灸,\"和\"管理\"在英语数据库中很突出。该研究还确定了几种治疗方法,包括火针疗法和电针,已显示出治疗HZ和PHN的功效。动物研究提供了对这些疗法机制的见解,提示神经炎症标志物和细胞内信号通路的潜在调节。
结论:文献计量分析强调了对HZ和PHN的针灸治疗的兴趣与日俱增。它突出了主要作者和机构的贡献,同时指出了未来研究的潜在领域。这项研究主张大规模的必要性,多中心临床试验和进一步的基础机械研究,以优化这些疗法。此外,它还强调了国际合作以加强证据基础并扩大这种传统治疗方式的全球影响的重要性。
OBJECTIVE: To identify major contributors, current research status, and to forecast research trends and future development prospects on acupuncture and moxibustion therapy for herpes zoster (HZ) and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).
METHODS: A systematic search was conducted on the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Weipu, WanFang databases, and the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), PubMed, and Scopus databases. The search strategy included relevant terms for HZ, PHN, acupuncture, and moxibustion. The reference type was limited to articles or reviews, with a publication date from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2023. Data analysis was performed using CiteSpace software, focusing on author, institution, source, and keyword distributions, and temporal trends.
RESULTS: A total of 1612 publications were identified from both Chinese and English databases. The analysis revealed a rising trend in publication numbers in the English database, with a significant increase observed in 2020. In the Chinese database, publication activity exhibited two peaks in 2019 and 2023. Guohua Lin and Jingchun Zeng were the most prolific authors in the Chinese and English databases, respectively. The Chengdu University of TCM and Zhejiang Chinese Medicine University were the most active institutions. The keyword analysis revealed \"herpes zoster\" as the most frequent keyword in the Chinese database, while \"postherpetic neuralgia,\" \"acupuncture,\" and \"management\" were prominent in the English database. The study also identified several therapeutic approaches, including fire needle therapy and electroacupuncture, which have shown efficacy in treating HZ and PHN. Animal studies provided insights into the mechanisms of these therapies, suggesting potential modulation of neuroinflammatory markers and intracellular signaling pathways.
CONCLUSIONS: The bibliometric analysis underscores the growing interest in acupuncture and moxibustion therapy for HZ and PHN. It highlights the contributions of key authors and institutions while pinpointing potential areas for future research. The study advocates for the necessity of large-scale, multi-center clinical trials and further basic mechanical research to optimize these therapies. Moreover, it also emphasizes the importance of international collaboration to strengthen the evidence base and expand the global impact of this traditional treatment modality.
