BACKGROUND: Chronic pain poses a significant social burden. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is considered to be the most promising treatment for refractory pain. The aim of this study was to summarize the current research hotspots on SCS for pain treatment during the past two decades and to predict the future research trends by bibliometric analysis. METHODS: The literature over the last two decades (2002-2022) which was related to SCS in pain treatment was obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric analyses were conducted based on the following aspects: (1) Annual publication and citation trends; (2) Annual publication changes of different publication types; (3) Publications and citations/co-citations of different country/institution/journal/author; (4) Citations/co-citation and citation burst analysis of different literature; and (5) Co-occurrence, cluster, thematic map, trend topics, and citation burst analysis of different keywords. (6) Comparison between the United States and Europe. All analyses were performed on CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R bibliometrix package. RESULTS: A total of 1,392 articles were included in this study, with an increasing number of publications and citations year by year. The most highly published type of literature was clinical trial. United States was the country with the most publications and citations; Johns Hopkins University was the institution with the most publications; NEUROMODULATION published the most papers; the most published author was Linderoth B; and the most cited paper was published in the PAIN by Kumar K in 2007. The most frequently occurring keywords were "spinal cord stimulation," "neuropathic pain," and "chronic pain," etc. CONCLUSION: The positive effect of SCS on pain treatment has continued to arouse the enthusiasm of researchers in this field. Future research should focus on the development of new technologies, innovative applications, and clinical trials for SCS. This study might facilitate researchers to comprehensively understand the overall perspective, research hotspots, and future development trends in this field, as well as seek collaboration with other researchers.
背景:慢性疼痛带来了重大的社会负担。脊髓刺激(SCS)被认为是治疗难治性疼痛最有前景的方法。本研究的目的是通过文献计量分析总结过去二十年中SCS治疗疼痛的当前研究热点,并预测未来的研究趋势。 方法:从科学网核心合集获取过去二十年(2002 - 2022年)与SCS治疗疼痛相关的文献。基于以下方面进行文献计量分析:(1)年度发表和被引趋势;(2)不同发表类型的年度发表变化;(3)不同国家/机构/期刊/作者的发表和被引/共被引情况;(4)不同文献的被引/共被引和引用爆发分析;(5)不同关键词的共现、聚类、主题地图、趋势主题和引用爆发分析。(6)美国和欧洲之间的比较。所有分析均在CiteSpace、VOSviewer和R文献计量包上进行。 结果:本研究共纳入1392篇文章,发表量和被引次数逐年增加。发表量最高的文献类型是临床试验。美国是发表量和被引次数最多的国家;约翰霍普金斯大学是发表量最多的机构;《神经调节》发表的论文最多;发表量最多的作者是林德罗斯·B;被引次数最多的论文是库马尔·K于2007年发表在《疼痛》上的。出现频率最高的关键词有“脊髓刺激”“神经性疼痛”“慢性疼痛”等。 结论:SCS对疼痛治疗的积极作用持续激发该领域研究人员的热情。未来研究应聚焦于SCS新技术的开发、创新应用和临床试验。本研究可能有助于研究人员全面了解该领域的整体情况、研究热点和未来发展趋势,以及寻求与其他研究人员的合作。
