Bibliometric Analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the Treatment of Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy
Objective To analyze the research status of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN),and to provide a reference for follow-up research.Methods The literature related to TCM in the treatment of DPN in CNKI,VIP,WanFang,CBMdisc from 2012 to 2023 was searched.EndNote X9 document management software was used for duplicate check,and CiteSpace 6.2.R4 software was used to draw a visual knowledge graph of authors,research institutions,and keywords.Results A total of 681 studies were included,and the number of overall annual publications showed a fluctuating upward trend.The author with the largest number of published papers was Liu Tonghua(eight papers),followed by Mu Xiaohong(four papers),Li Xianzhu(four papers),Sun Wen(four papers),and Hou Ying(four papers).The core authors included Liu Tonghua from the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and Li Xianzhu from the Heilongjiang Institute of Integrative Medicine,with close cooperation within the teams.The research institution with the largest number of publications was the Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine(39 papers),followed by the Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine(38 papers)and the Changchun University of Traditional Chinese Medicine(37 papers).Most of the universities in each province cooperated with their affiliated hospitals,and there was less inter-provincial cooperation.Keyword analysis showed that most of the studies on TCM in the treatment of DPN were clinical studies.High-frequency keywords included DPN,Chinese medicine therapy,nerve conduction velocity,clinical research,Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction,etc.The hot spots and frontiers of research included Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome,oxidative stress,data mining and so on.Conclusion China has made some progress in the treatment of DPN with TCM,and the relevant studies are mostly clinical studies.Basic research efforts should be increased,inter-institutional cooperation across provinces should be enhanced,and the overall quality of research should be improved to explore the potentiality of TCM in the treatment of DPN.
