The objective of this study was to analyze the published literature on the utilization of dry needling in the management of neck pain.
We performed a bibliometric analysis of publications from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2022. Using the Scopus database, articles about the utilization of dry needling in neck pain were found. Scopus analyzer was used to obtain results such as "documents by year," "source," "country," and so on. VOS viewer Version 1.6.18 was used to analyze various units such as "co-authorship," "co-occurrences," and "citation analysis."
The search yielded 125 articles. Most articles were published in the years 2022, followed by 2021. A network analysis of various parameters reveals that the topic has a high research potential.
This bibliometric analysis offers an understanding of the literature on dry needling therapy for neck pain. The number of studies in this sector has increased over a decade. There is a gap in research from low- and middle-income countries on use of dry needling in the management of neck pain.
本研究的目的是分析已发表的关于干针疗法用于颈部疼痛管理的文献。
我们对2002年1月1日至2022年12月31日期间发表的文献进行了文献计量分析。利用Scopus数据库，查找有关干针疗法用于颈部疼痛的文章。使用Scopus分析器获取诸如“逐年文献数量”“来源”“国家”等结果。使用VOS viewer 1.6.18版本分析诸如“共同作者关系”“共现情况”和“引文分析”等各种单元。
检索到125篇文章。大多数文章发表于2022年，其次是2021年。对各种参数的网络分析表明该主题具有较高的研究潜力。
这项文献计量分析有助于了解关于干针疗法治疗颈部疼痛的文献。该领域的研究数量在过去十年中有所增加。低收入和中等收入国家在干针疗法用于颈部疼痛管理方面的研究存在差距。
