Article Synopsis
- The study used bibliometric and scientific knowledge graph methods to analyze current research trends in acupuncture-moxibustion for treating myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), reviewing articles up to March 2023 from various databases.
- A total of 910 Chinese articles and 300 English articles were included, showing an increasing trend in publications, but limited cooperation among different regions, primarily focused in Spain, China, and the U.S.
- Keyword analysis revealed that Chinese studies emphasized "acupuncture" and related techniques, while English studies leaned towards "dry needling" and "injection"; both types of articles were deficient in studying the underlying mechanisms of these therapies, highlighting the need for increased collaboration and comprehensive research efforts.
