Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder with limited treatment options. Neurofeedback, a technique that trains brainwaves, has shown promise in addressing cognitive impairments.
To conduct a bibliometric analysis to explore the current research on neurofeedback as a treatment for AD.
A systematic literature review was performed based on PRISMA guidelines on 142 papers. Different bibliometric parameters like the author's country, author names, keywords, journal names, and country of citations were analyzed, and a network visualization chart was generated to understand the correlation of Alzheimer-related search terms to neurofeedback.
Research is concentrated in Europe and North America, with a significant gap in Asian countries. A growing body of evidence supports the potential benefits of neurofeedback for AD. A strong correlation has been found between neurofeedback and AD-related terms. Clinical trials suggest positive outcomes for neurofeedback in improving cognitive impairments and working memory.
Neurofeedback shows promise as a potential treatment for AD. Further research and clinical studies are needed to explore the full potential of neurofeedback for enhancing the quality of life for individuals with AD.
阿尔茨海默病（AD）是一种治疗选择有限的神经退行性疾病。神经反馈是一种训练脑电波的技术，已显示出在解决认知障碍方面的前景。
进行文献计量分析，以探索目前关于神经反馈作为AD治疗方法的研究。
根据PRISMA指南对142篇论文进行系统的文献综述。分析了不同的文献计量参数，如作者所在国家、作者姓名、关键词、期刊名称和被引文献的国家，并生成了网络可视化图表，以了解与阿尔茨海默病相关的搜索词与神经反馈之间的相关性。
研究集中在欧洲和北美，亚洲国家存在显著差距。越来越多的证据支持神经反馈对AD的潜在益处。已发现神经反馈与AD相关术语之间存在很强的相关性。临床试验表明，神经反馈在改善认知障碍和工作记忆方面有积极结果。
神经反馈显示出作为AD潜在治疗方法的前景。需要进一步的研究和临床研究来探索神经反馈在提高AD患者生活质量方面的全部潜力。
