Abstract:
Objective To visually analyze the research literature of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） herbal compresses in China by CiteSpace software, sort out the development process and direction changes of research, reveal cutting-edge hotspots, predict research trends, and provide reference for in-depth research and application of TCM herbal compresses. Methods Literature related to TCM herbal compresses were retrieved from databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, VIP Journal Integration Platform （VJIP）, covering the period from September 1, 2002 to November 15, 2024. CiteSpace software was used for visualization analysis. Results A total of 508 documents were included, and the annual publication volume showed a fluctuating growth. The number of publications was higher in northern regions than in southern regions, with Jilin and Henan provinces being the majority. The institution with the highest number of publications was Changchun University of TCM. The authors with the highest number of publications were Xing Linbo and Hou GuiHong. Collaboration among authors and institutions was generally suboptimal, with limited cross-regional cooperation. The top three high-frequency keywords were nursing, （clinical） efficacy, and pain. The emerging keywords indicated that adverse reactions, clinical efficacy, and traditional Chinese medicine rubbing were hot topics in the study of Chinese medicine herbal compresses. Conclusion The research on TCM herbal compresses in China was in a steady development stage, with research hotspots focused on clinical efficacy observation and adverse reactions of multiple therapies combined. In the future, cross institutional cooperation and in-depth research need to be strengthened to promote further development in this field.
