The extent, range, and nature of available research in the field of herbal therapies for osteoarthritis (OA) have not been systematically analyzed. This study aimed to map the literature available on herbal therapies for OA and identify global hotspots and trends in this field.
Studies on herbal therapies for OA published between 2004 and 2022 were searched from the Web of Science Core Collection. Microsoft Excel, SPSS Statistics, and CiteSpace software were used to analyze and visualize the quantity and citations of publications, and the research hotspots and trends in research on herbal therapies for OA.
A total of 1649 publications mainly from 76 countries/regions and 270 institutions were included in this study. From 2004 to 2022, there is an upward trend in the publications of herbal therapies for OA. China ranked first in the number of publications ( = 568, 34.45%), followed by the USA ( = 353, 21.41%), South Korea ( = 187, 11.34%), Germany ( = 85, 5.15%), and England ( = 79, 4.79%). Kyung Hee University ( = 46), Xianxiang Liu ( = 25), and ( = 74) were the most prolific affiliation, author, and journal, respectively. Felson DT ( = 185) and ( = 1173) held the record for the most cited papers by an author and journal, respectively. Currently, the hot keywords in the field of herbal therapies for OA include knee OA, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), differentiation, rosa canina, inflammation, oxidative stress, stem cell, and regenerative medicine. The emerging research trends in herbal therapies for OA are herbal medicinal product, chronic knee pain, mesenchymal stem cell, and clinical pharmacology.
Research on herbal therapies for OA is flourishing, but communication among countries/regions should be strengthened. Current research on herbal therapies for OA mainly focuses on knee OA, TCM, differentiation, rosa canina, inflammation, oxidative stress, stem cell, and regenerative medicine. The research frontiers are herbal medicinal product, chronic knee pain, mesenchymal stem cell, and clinical pharmacology.
尚未对骨关节炎（OA）草药疗法领域现有研究的范围、广度和性质进行系统分析。本研究旨在梳理关于OA草药疗法的现有文献，并确定该领域的全球热点和趋势。
从科学网核心合集中检索2004年至2022年间发表的关于OA草药疗法的研究。使用Microsoft Excel、SPSS Statistics和CiteSpace软件分析并可视化出版物的数量和引用情况，以及OA草药疗法研究的热点和趋势。
本研究共纳入1649篇主要来自76个国家/地区和270个机构的出版物。2004年至2022年，OA草药疗法的出版物呈上升趋势。中国的出版物数量排名第一（n = 568，34.45%），其次是美国（n = 353，21.41%）、韩国（n = 187，11.34%）、德国（n = 85，5.15%）和英国（n = 79，4.79%）。庆熙大学（n = 46）、刘献祥（n = 25）和《》（n = 74）分别是发文量最多的机构、作者和期刊。费尔森·DT（n = 185）和《》（n = 1173）分别是被作者和期刊引用次数最多的论文记录保持者。目前，OA草药疗法领域的热门关键词包括膝骨关节炎、中医、辨证、犬蔷薇、炎症、氧化应激、干细胞和再生医学。OA草药疗法的新兴研究趋势是草药产品、慢性膝关节疼痛、间充质干细胞和临床药理学。
OA草药疗法的研究正在蓬勃发展，但应加强国家/地区之间的交流。目前关于OA草药疗法的研究主要集中在膝骨关节炎、中医、辨证、犬蔷薇、炎症、氧化应激、干细胞和再生医学。研究前沿是草药产品、慢性膝关节疼痛、间充质干细胞和临床药理学。
