BACKGROUND: Visceral pain is a complex and heterogeneous disorder that is considered more prominent compared to somatic pain, due to its multiple and complex causes and accompanying emotional and mood disorders. Research has become increasingly extensive over the years, but a bibliometric analysis of this field is lacking. The aim of this study was to analyze global research trends in visceral pain over the past 40 years through visual analysis. METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive search of the literature from January 1981 to December 2021 using the Web of Science core database. The medical subject term 'visceral pain' was searched. We used CiteSpace and VOSviewer for bibliometric analysis and network visualization, including top-ranked authors, keywords, research collaborations, and literature co-occurrence network analysis. RESULTS: A total of 5,047 articles were included in the analysis. The number of articles on visceral pain has continued to grow steadily over the past 40 years. The United States (1,716 articles), University of California (159 articles), and Neurogastroenterology and Motility (276 articles) were the country, institution, and journal with the most publications, respectively. Keyword analysis showed that inflammation, visceral hypersensitivity, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), anxiety, and quality of life were the research trends and priorities in this research field. CONCLUSION: Visceral pain-related research has received increasing attention in recent decades. However, there are still many unresolved issues in the field of visceral pain, such as the specific molecular mechanisms and clinical treatments between visceral pain and inflammation, IBD, IBS, anxiety, and quality of life, which may require further exploration based on modern scientific and technological means and more basic research, especially for the therapeutic targets of visceral pain, which may become a hot spot for future research and provide guidance for the treatment of clinical diseases related to visceral pain.
背景:内脏痛是一种复杂且异质性的疾病,由于其病因多样且复杂,并伴有情绪和心境障碍,与躯体痛相比,它被认为更为突出。多年来,该领域的研究日益广泛,但缺乏对这一领域的文献计量分析。本研究旨在通过可视化分析,剖析过去40年全球内脏痛的研究趋势。 方法:我们使用科学网核心数据库,对1981年1月至2021年12月的文献进行了全面检索。检索词为医学主题词“内脏痛”。我们使用CiteSpace和VOSviewer进行文献计量分析和网络可视化,包括排名靠前的作者、关键词、研究合作以及文献共现网络分析。 结果:分析共纳入5047篇文章。在过去40年里,关于内脏痛的文章数量持续稳步增长。发表文章最多的国家、机构和期刊分别是美国(1716篇文章)、加利福尼亚大学(159篇文章)和《神经胃肠病学与动力》(276篇文章)。关键词分析表明,炎症、内脏高敏感性、炎症性肠病(IBD)、肠易激综合征(IBS)、焦虑和生活质量是该研究领域的研究趋势和重点。 结论:近几十年来,内脏痛相关研究受到了越来越多的关注。然而,在内脏痛领域仍有许多未解决的问题,如内脏痛与炎症、IBD、IBS、焦虑和生活质量之间的具体分子机制和临床治疗方法,这可能需要基于现代科技手段进行进一步探索和开展更多基础研究,尤其是内脏痛的治疗靶点,这可能成为未来研究的热点,并为与内脏痛相关的临床疾病治疗提供指导。
