We analyzed the literature describing the results of treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) using acupuncture in the past three decades from the Web of Science (WoS) and Chinese databases (including CNKI, WANGFANG and VIP), and summarized the current development of CRC treatment as well as future research directions through the presentation of maps and visualization analysis.
We searched the WoS and Chinese databases. Relevant articles were exported, and the data were organized using Excel software and was visualized and analyzed using CiteSpace software.
A total of 355 articles from the WoS and 95 articles from Chinese databases were selected for inclusion in the analysis. The articles in WoS were sourced from 174 journals, 1274 institutions, and 66 countries, and covered 299 keywords. The articles in the Chinese databases were sourced from 43 journals, 111 institutions, and 3 countries, and included 126 keywords. The article with the most citations in the WoS was cited 128 times and in the Chinese databases, the article with the most citations was cited 120 times. Acupuncture, CRC, rectal cancer, apoptosis, warm acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and gastrointestinal function were mentioned most frequently in the WoS. CRC, electroacupuncture, gastrointestinal function, rectal cancer, acupuncture and moxibustion, acupuncture, and colon cancer were mentioned most frequently in the Chinese databases.
Both the WoS and Chinese databases showed a gradual increase in the number of articles related to acupuncture treatment for CRC, indicating a growing interest in this area. Acupuncture treatments are diverse, including warm acupuncture, auricular acupuncture, acupuncture injection, and electroacupuncture. They are often used in combination with drugs to treat symptoms such as depression, nausea and vomiting, pain, diarrhea, and urinary and fecal incontinence, which are commonly associated with CRC.
我们分析了过去三十年里来自科学网（WoS）和中国数据库（包括知网、万方和维普）中描述使用针灸治疗结直肠癌（CRC）结果的文献，并通过绘制图谱和可视化分析总结了CRC治疗的当前进展以及未来研究方向。
我们检索了WoS和中国数据库。导出相关文章，使用Excel软件整理数据，并使用CiteSpace软件进行可视化和分析。
共筛选出WoS的355篇文章和中国数据库的95篇文章纳入分析。WoS中的文章来源期刊有174种，机构有1274个，国家有66个，涵盖299个关键词。中国数据库中的文章来源期刊有43种，机构有111个，国家有3个，包含126个关键词。WoS中被引次数最多的文章被引128次，中国数据库中被引次数最多的文章被引120次。WoS中提及最多的是针灸、CRC、直肠癌、细胞凋亡、温针灸、中医药（TCM）和胃肠功能。中国数据库中提及最多的是CRC、电针、胃肠功能、直肠癌、针灸与艾灸、针灸和结肠癌。
WoS和中国数据库均显示与针灸治疗CRC相关的文章数量呈逐渐增加趋势，表明该领域的关注度在不断提高。针灸治疗方法多样，包括温针灸、耳针、穴位注射和电针。它们常与药物联合使用，以治疗CRC常见的诸如抑郁、恶心呕吐、疼痛、腹泻以及大小便失禁等症状。
