This study aims to explore the research landscape, hot topics, and future trends of non-pharmacological therapies for post-stroke spastic paralysis globally from 2000 to 2024 through a bibliometric analysis.
We conducted a search in the Web of Science Core Collection database to analyze literature related to non-pharmacological therapies for post-stroke spastic paralysis published between 2000 and 2024. Tools including CiteSpace, VOSviewer, Bibliometrix, Scimago, and R language were used to identify and analyze countries, institutions, journals, references, keywords, as well as the most commonly used therapies and acupuncture points. The results were presented in the form of knowledge maps.
The bibliometric analysis identified a total of 297 publications. Over the study period, the number of publications showed an overall upward trend. China had the highest number of publications. The journal Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation published the most articles. The most frequently occurring keywords were "stroke", "reliability", and "muscle spasticity." The most commonly used therapy was "acupuncture.".
From 2000 to 2024, non-pharmacological therapies have shown positive effects in improving post-stroke spastic paralysis; however, more rigorously designed large-scale, high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm their long-term efficacy and mechanisms. Moving forward, international and domestic research institutions should strengthen collaboration to produce more impactful research and further explore individualized, precision rehabilitation treatment plans.
本研究旨在通过文献计量分析，探索2000年至2024年全球范围内中风后痉挛性瘫痪非药物治疗的研究概况、热点话题和未来趋势。
我们在科学网核心合集数据库中进行检索，以分析2000年至2024年发表的与中风后痉挛性瘫痪非药物治疗相关的文献。使用CiteSpace、VOSviewer、Bibliometrix、Scimago和R语言等工具来识别和分析国家、机构、期刊、参考文献、关键词，以及最常用的治疗方法和穴位。结果以知识图谱的形式呈现。
文献计量分析共确定了297篇出版物。在研究期间，出版物数量总体呈上升趋势。中国的出版物数量最多。《物理医学与康复档案》杂志发表的文章最多。出现频率最高的关键词是“中风”“可靠性”和“肌肉痉挛”。最常用的治疗方法是“针灸”。
2000年至2024年期间，非药物治疗在改善中风后痉挛性瘫痪方面显示出积极效果；然而，需要更严格设计的大规模、高质量随机对照试验来证实其长期疗效和作用机制。展望未来，国际和国内研究机构应加强合作，开展更具影响力的研究，并进一步探索个性化、精准的康复治疗方案。
