The purpose of our bibliometric analysis was to explore the disciplinary hotspots and collaborative networks in research on neuropathic pain (NPP) during in the past 20 years.
The studies related to NPP were obtained from Web of Science database. Global publications on NPP were analyzed for different factors, including the number of reports, citation rates, authors, institutions, countries and regions, journals, funding, and relevant partnerships and topic hotspots.
From 2001 to 2020, 6905 studies related to NPP research were reported worldwide. The number of publications had increased continually during the past 20 years. Pain was the most productive and most frequently co-cited journal. Ralf Baron was the most productive and influential author. The most productive country and institution were the United States and Harvard University, respectively. Investigators and institutions from the United States, Japan, and China were the core research forces. We found broad and close cooperation in the field worldwide. The top authors and top institutions had collaborated relatively closely with others.
The research of NPP is a well-developed and prospective field of medical study. The journals Pain, European Journal of Pain, and Molecular Pain showed more interested in this field. The United States, Harvard University, and Ralf Baron were the top country, institution, and author, respectively. Global research collaboration was extensive, with the top institutions and authors cooperating with others.
我们的文献计量分析旨在探讨过去 20 年来神经病理性疼痛（NPP）研究中的学科热点和合作网络。
我们从 Web of Science 数据库中获取了与 NPP 相关的研究。对 NPP 的全球出版物进行了分析，包括报告数量、引用率、作者、机构、国家和地区、期刊、资金以及相关合作和主题热点。
从 2001 年到 2020 年，全球共报道了 6905 项与 NPP 研究相关的研究。在过去的 20 年中，出版物的数量一直在持续增加。Pain 是最具生产力和最常被引用的期刊。Ralf Baron 是最具生产力和影响力的作者。最具生产力的国家和机构分别是美国和哈佛大学。来自美国、日本和中国的研究人员和机构是核心研究力量。我们发现全球范围内该领域的合作广泛而紧密。顶尖作者和顶尖机构与其他机构的合作相对密切。
NPP 的研究是医学研究中一个发达且有前景的领域。期刊 Pain、European Journal of Pain 和 Molecular Pain 对该领域表现出了更大的兴趣。美国、哈佛大学和 Ralf Baron 分别是排名最高的国家、机构和作者。全球研究合作广泛，顶尖机构和作者与其他机构合作密切。
