This bibliometric study investigates the research landscape of magnetotherapy, also known as magnetic field therapy, which utilizes magnetic fields to promote healing, reduce pain, and improve overall health and well-being. The study uses bibliographic data from Scopus and employs Biblioshiny and CiteSpace for analysis. Key aspects examined include annual scientific production, most relevant authors, co-citation of cited authors, most relevant sources, countries' scientific production, and collaborations. Additional analyses feature a historiograph, trend topics, thematic maps, and keywords with the strongest citation bursts. Findings highlight significant trends in research activity, identify influential contributors, and map out collaborative networks in the field. The study reveals a noticeable absence of long-term studies and standardized treatment protocols in magnetotherapy research. Identified research gaps indicate the need for interdisciplinary studies and a deeper mechanistic understanding of magnetotherapy. Practical implications emphasize the potential for enhanced clinical applications, healthcare policy integration, and medical device innovations. The study underscores the importance of educational and training programs for healthcare professionals. Addressing these gaps and leveraging practical implications can significantly advance the field of magnetotherapy.
这项文献计量学研究调查了磁疗法(也称为磁场疗法)的研究概况,该疗法利用磁场促进愈合、减轻疼痛并改善整体健康状况。该研究使用了来自Scopus的文献数据,并采用Biblioshiny和CiteSpace进行分析。研究考察的关键方面包括年度科研产出、最相关的作者、被引作者的共被引情况、最相关的来源、各国的科研产出以及合作情况。额外的分析包括历史编纂、趋势主题、主题地图以及具有最强引用爆发的关键词。研究结果突出了研究活动中的显著趋势,确定了有影响力的贡献者,并描绘了该领域的合作网络。该研究揭示了磁疗法研究中明显缺乏长期研究和标准化治疗方案的情况。已确定的研究空白表明需要进行跨学科研究,并对磁疗法有更深入的机制理解。实际意义强调了增强临床应用、医疗保健政策整合和医疗设备创新的潜力。该研究强调了针对医疗保健专业人员的教育和培训计划的重要性。解决这些空白并利用实际意义可以显著推动磁疗法领域的发展。
