Abstract:
ObjectiveTo analyze the development status and research frontiers of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) in rehabilitation therapy. MethodsRelevant literatures on rPMS in rehabilitation therapy were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang data, VIP and Web of Science Core Collection from January, 2005 to December, 2024. CiteSpace 6.4.R1 and VOSviewer 1.6.20 were used for visualization analysis. ResultsA total of 202 publications were included, 81 in Chinese and 121 in English, with an overall increasing trend in annual publications. Japan had the highest number of English publications, while Germany demonstrated the highest centrality. The most productive institution in Chinese publications was Huashan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, with the most prolific authors being Xu Liang, Cai Qian and Ma Ming. For English publications, Technical University of Munich was the most productive institution, Schneider Cyril was the most productive author, and Clinical Neurophysiology was the most influential journal. Hotspot keywords in both Chinese and English publications included stroke, spasticity, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, dysphagia, motor function, pain and plasticity, etc. The most bursting words in Chinese and English publications were spasticity and pain, respectively. ConclusionResearches on rPMS in rehabilitation therapy show steady growth, primarily focusing on functional rehabilitation for neurological diseases such as stroke and cerebral palsy, as well as the treatment of painful diseases including low back pain.
