Low-intensity ultrasound (LI-US) is a non-invasive stimulation technique that has emerged in recent years and has been shown to have positive effects on neuromodulation, fracture healing, inflammation improvement, and metabolic regulation. This study reports the conclusions of a bibliometric analysis of LI-US. Input data for the period between 1995 and 2022, including 7209 related articles in the field of LI-US, were collected from the core library of the Web of Science (WOS) database. Using these data, a set of bibliometric indicators was obtained to gain knowledge on different aspects: global production, research areas, and sources analysis, contributions of countries and institutions, author analysis, citation analysis, and keyword analysis. This study combined the data analysis capabilities provided by the WOS database, making use of two bibliometric software tools: R software and VOS viewer to achieve analysis and data exploration visualization, and predicted the further development trends of LI-US. It turns out that the United States and China are co-leaders while Zhang ZG is the most significant author in LI-US. In the future, the hot spots of LI-US will continue to focus on parameter research, mechanism discussion, safety regulations, and neuromodulation applications.
低强度超声（LI-US）是一种近年来出现的非侵入性刺激技术，已被证明对神经调节、骨折愈合、炎症改善和代谢调节具有积极作用。本研究报告了对 LI-US 的文献计量分析的结论。从 Web of Science（WOS）数据库的核心库中收集了 1995 年至 2022 年期间的相关数据，包括 LI-US 领域的 7209 篇相关文章。使用这些数据，获得了一套文献计量指标，以获取有关全球生产、研究领域和来源分析、国家和机构贡献、作者分析、引文分析和关键词分析等不同方面的知识。本研究结合了 WOS 数据库提供的数据分析功能，利用两种文献计量软件工具：R 软件和 VOS viewer 实现分析和数据探索可视化，并预测了 LI-US 的进一步发展趋势。结果表明，美国和中国是共同领导者，而张忠国是 LI-US 领域最具影响力的作者。未来，LI-US 的热点将继续集中在参数研究、机制讨论、安全法规和神经调节应用上。
