Abstract:
Objective To analyze the research hotspots,frontiers,and trends in clinical randomized controlled trials(RCTs)on acupuncture-moxibustion for post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome(SHS)over the past decade using bibliometric and knowledge mapping methods.Methods The clinical RCTs on acupuncture-moxibustion for post-stroke SHS from five Chinese and English databases were retrieved,including CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,PubMed,and Web of Science(WOS).CiteSpace and VOSviewer were employed for analysis,and visualized knowledge maps were generated.Results A total of 1 226 Chinese and 20 English articles were included,with both reaching publication peaks in 2021.The top three institutions in terms of output were Huguosi Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Beijing University of Chinese Medicine,The Second Affiliated Hospital of Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine,and Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine.The most prolific author was Song Fengjun,while Pei Jian had the highest centrality.The five most frequently used keywords were shoulder-hand syndrome,stroke,acupuncture-moxibustion,rehabilitation training,and joint mobility.Emerging research topics included activities of daily living,limb function,and range of motion.Conclusion Clinical research on acupuncture-moxibustion for post-stroke SHS holds significant developmental potential.Strengthening international collaboration to explore therapeutic mechanisms is recommended,and researchers should continue optimizing treatment protocols to enhance the quality of clinical evidence.
