Abstract:
Objective To visualize and analyze the researches on transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS)for stroke rehabilita-tion. Methods The Web of Science core collection and CNKI were searched for literature on the use of tDCS for stroke reha-bilitation,since the establishment of the database until March 31st,2023.The literature was analyzed wtih Cite-Sapce 6.2.R2 in term of disciplines,articles number,countries,keywords and co-citation,etc. Results A total of 732 articles in English and 322 articles in Chinese were included,and the number of articles was on the rise.The country with the largest number of publications was the United States,and the journal with the high-est citation frequency was Stroke.The keywords with high attention in recent years were virtual reality,upper limb and transcranial magnetic stimulation.The clustering words of co-cited literature were aphasia,homeostatic plasticity,and motor recovery,etc. Conclusion The researches about tDCS for stroke rehabilitation are increasing year by year,and the research fields are diversified.The hotspots include rehabilitation for motor and speech,and combination with other therapy,such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and acupuncture.The combination of tDCS with new rehabilitation protocols such as brain-computer interfaces and virtual reality,as well as the selection of individualized stimula-tion parameters to construct patient-centered tDCS models may be hot in the future.
