Dystonia is a heterogeneous disorder that, when refractory to medical treatment, may have a favorable response to deep brain stimulation (DBS). A practical way to have an overview of a research domain is through a bibliometric analysis, as it makes it more accessible for researchers and others outside the field to have an idea of its directions and needs.
To analyze the 100 most cited articles in the use of DBS for dystonia treatment in the last 30 years.
The research protocol was performed in June 2019 in Elsevier's Scopus database, by retrieving the most cited articles regarding DBS in dystonia. We analyzed authors, year of publication, country, affiliation, and targets of DBS.
Articles are mainly published in Movement Disorders (19%), Journal of Neurosurgery (9%), and Neurology (9%). European countries offer significant contributions (57% of our sample). France (192.5 citations/paper) and Germany (144.1 citations/paper) have the highest citation rates of all countries. The United States contributes with 31% of the articles, with 129.8 citations/paper. The publications are focused on General outcomes (46%), followed by Long-term outcomes (12.5%), and Complications (11%), and the leading type of dystonia researched is idiopathic or inherited, isolated, segmental or generalized dystonia, with 27% of articles and 204.3 citations/paper.
DBS in dystonia research is mainly published in a handful of scientific journals and focused on the outcomes of the surgery in idiopathic or inherited, isolated, segmental or generalized dystonia, and with globus pallidus internus as the main DBS target.
肌张力障碍是一种异质性疾病，对药物治疗无效时，可能对深部脑刺激（DBS）有良好反应。对一个研究领域进行概述的一种实用方法是通过文献计量分析，因为这能让该领域以外的研究人员和其他人更容易了解其研究方向和需求。
分析过去30年中使用DBS治疗肌张力障碍的被引用次数最多的100篇文章。
2019年6月在爱思唯尔的Scopus数据库中执行研究方案，检索关于DBS治疗肌张力障碍的被引用次数最多的文章。我们分析了作者、发表年份、国家、所属机构以及DBS的靶点。
文章主要发表在《运动障碍》（19%）、《神经外科杂志》（9%）和《神经病学》（9%）上。欧洲国家贡献显著（占我们样本的57%）。法国（每篇论文192.5次引用）和德国（每篇论文144.1次引用）在所有国家中引用率最高。美国的文章占31%，每篇论文引用129.8次。出版物集中在总体结果（46%），其次是长期结果（12.5%）和并发症（11%），研究的主要肌张力障碍类型是特发性或遗传性、孤立性、节段性或全身性肌张力障碍，占文章的27%，每篇论文引用204.3次。
肌张力障碍研究中的DBS主要发表在少数科学期刊上，重点关注特发性或遗传性、孤立性、节段性或全身性肌张力障碍手术的结果，以内侧苍白球为主要DBS靶点。
