ET, one of the most prevalent neurological disorders, presents a significant challenge in terms of disability. Despite the growing focus on ET in recent years, comprehensive bibliometric analysis has been lacking.
This study delves into essential tremor research covering the period from 2013 to 2023, utilizing the Web of Science (WOS) database. Employing CiteSpace for quantitative analysis, it examines an array of metrics including annual publication trends, contributions from countries and institutions, authorship patterns, key terminologies, and patterns of reference co-citation. The primary objective is to use CiteSpace for a detailed visual exploration of the literature over the last decade, pinpointing the evolving landscape and key areas of focus in essential tremor research, and thus providing a foundation for future investigative endeavors.
There were 2,224 literary works included in all. The amount of published works has been steadily rising in recent years. Of them, the majority originate from the United States, Louis, Elan D. is the publisher of the most publications (161 articles), and Movement Disorders is the journal that receives the most citations. The key words contribution and co-cited literatures suggest that the main research hotspots in recent years are the physiological and pathological mechanism of essential tremor, the determination of optimal targets for deep brain stimulation (DBS) and surgery transcranial magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) in the surgical management of essential tremor and the innovative research of botulinum toxin administration method.
特发性震颤（ET）是最常见的神经系统疾病之一，在致残方面带来了重大挑战。尽管近年来对ET的关注日益增加，但缺乏全面的文献计量分析。
本研究利用科学网（WOS）数据库，深入探讨了2013年至2023年期间的特发性震颤研究。采用CiteSpace进行定量分析，考察了一系列指标，包括年度发表趋势、国家和机构的贡献、作者模式、关键术语以及参考文献共被引模式。主要目的是利用CiteSpace对过去十年的文献进行详细的可视化探索，确定特发性震颤研究的演变格局和重点领域，从而为未来的研究工作提供基础。
总共纳入了2224篇文献。近年来发表的文献数量一直在稳步增加。其中，大多数文献来自美国，伊兰·D·路易斯是发表文献最多的作者（161篇文章），《运动障碍》是被引用次数最多的期刊。关键词贡献和共被引文献表明，近年来的主要研究热点是特发性震颤的生理和病理机制、深部脑刺激（DBS）和经颅磁共振引导聚焦超声（MRgFUS）手术治疗特发性震颤中最佳靶点的确定以及肉毒杆菌毒素给药方法的创新性研究。
