Cancer pain is a common symptom of cancer patients and greatly affects quality of life. Acupuncture has certain curative effects on cancer pain. The aim of this study was to analyze and visualize the current status and research trend of acupuncture treatment for cancer pain over the last 10 years and provide directions for future development.
A search of the Web of Science Core Collection from 2012-01-01 to 2022-08-20 was performed to collect studies related to acupuncture therapy for cancer pain. CiteSpace was used to conduct bibliometric analysis and visualization from the perspective of the volume of annual publications, journals, nations, institutions, authors, keywords, and references.
A total of 302 studies were included in the analysis. The number of publications increased steadily with some fluctuations over the past decade. Integrative Cancer Therapies was the journal with the most relevant publications, and the Journal of Clinical Oncology was the most frequently cited journal. China had the highest volume of publications, and the USA contributed most to international collaboration. The most prolific institution was Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The most productive author was Mao JJ, and the most influential author was Lu WD. "Acupuncture" was the top keyword in frequency and centrality. The references with the highest frequency and centrality were published by HE, Y, and Ting Bao, respectively.
A stable development trend has formed in this field. The overall collaborative network needs to be strengthened. Breast cancer and multiple myeloma, electroacupuncture and bee venom acupuncture, postoperative pain, peripheral neuropathic pain syndrome, and aromatase inhibitors-associated arthralgia syndrome are research hotspots in this field. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), evidence-based evaluations and mechanisms (cancer-induced bone pain) are research trends and frontiers.
癌痛是癌症患者的常见症状,严重影响生活质量。针灸对癌痛有一定疗效。本研究旨在分析和可视化过去10年针灸治疗癌痛的现状和研究趋势,为未来发展提供方向。
检索2012年1月1日至2022年8月20日的Web of Science核心合集,收集与针灸治疗癌痛相关的研究。使用CiteSpace从年度出版物数量、期刊、国家、机构、作者、关键词和参考文献等角度进行文献计量分析和可视化。
共纳入302项研究进行分析。在过去十年中,出版物数量虽有波动但总体呈稳步上升趋势。《综合癌症治疗》是发表相关出版物最多的期刊,《临床肿瘤学杂志》是被引用次数最多的期刊。中国发表量最高,美国在国际合作方面贡献最大。发文量最多的机构是纪念斯隆凯特琳癌症中心。发文最多的作者是毛俊杰,最具影响力的作者是卢伟栋。“针灸”是频率和中心性最高的关键词。频率和中心性最高的参考文献分别由何、Y和丁宝发表。
该领域已形成稳定的发展趋势。整体合作网络有待加强。乳腺癌和多发性骨髓瘤、电针和蜂毒针、术后疼痛、周围神经病理性疼痛综合征以及芳香化酶抑制剂相关关节痛综合征是该领域的研究热点。随机对照试验(RCT)、循证评估和机制(癌性骨痛)是研究趋势和前沿。
