This study employs bibliometric techniques to dynamically represent the research landscape of oral and maxillofacial neuralgia. Its goal is to pinpoint research hotspots and delineate forthcoming trends. A systematic search of the Web of Science Core Collection was performed using targeted keywords to retrieve literature from January 2004 to December 2023. Citespace version 6.2.6 was utilized to analyze countries, institutions, authors, co-cited journals, and keywords. The analysis indicates an annual increase in research literature on oral and maxillofacial neuralgia, albeit with a decline observed in the past 2 years. In the last 5 years, a total of 279 publications have been produced, predominantly by developed countries. The average betweenness centrality exceeds 0.1. Analysis of co-cited literature revealed 100 nodes, with research frontiers closely associated with trigeminal neuralgia, gamma knife radiosurgery, percutaneous balloon compression, among others. Keyword clustering analysis generated 61 nodes, primarily concentrated on 3 research areas: gamma knife, microvascular decompression, and hemifacial spasm. The emergence of keywords closely correlates with trigeminal neuralgia. Research frontiers in the field of oral and maxillofacial neuralgia are primarily focused on trigeminal neuralgia, with major therapeutic approaches including gamma knife radiosurgery and percutaneous balloon compression. These areas, along with botulinum toxin, represent current hotpots and are likely to drive the future direction of research in treating oral and maxillofacial neuralgia.
本研究采用文献计量学技术动态呈现口腔颌面部神经痛的研究格局。其目的是找出研究热点并描绘未来趋势。使用目标关键词对科学网核心合集进行系统检索，以获取2004年1月至2023年12月的文献。利用Citespace 6.2.6版本分析国家、机构、作者、共被引期刊和关键词。分析表明，口腔颌面部神经痛的研究文献逐年增加，尽管在过去两年有所下降。在过去5年中，共发表了279篇论文，主要来自发达国家。平均中间中心性超过0.1。对共被引文献的分析揭示了100个节点，研究前沿与三叉神经痛、伽玛刀放射外科、经皮球囊压迫等密切相关。关键词聚类分析产生了61个节点，主要集中在3个研究领域：伽玛刀、微血管减压和半面痉挛。关键词的出现与三叉神经痛密切相关。口腔颌面部神经痛领域的研究前沿主要集中在三叉神经痛，主要治疗方法包括伽玛刀放射外科和经皮球囊压迫。这些领域以及肉毒杆菌毒素代表了当前的热点，很可能推动未来口腔颌面部神经痛治疗研究的方向。
