Abstract

Background

Although low back pain (LBP) contributes to the global disease burden, literature on the scientometric analysis of low back pain is limited.

Objective

This study aimed to demonstrate the research state and capture developmental dynamics of low back pain utilizing scientometric analysis and visualization methods.

Methods

Literature on low back pain from 2011 to 2020 was retrieved from the Web of Science core collection. CiteSpace software was used to generate the relevant knowledge map and carry out scientometric analysis on the volume of literature, cooperation between countries/regions and research institutions, disciplines, journals, highly cited references, and keywords. Research hotspots and trends of the included literature were then stated.

Results

A total of 27,968 publications were obtained and the number of annual publications maintained growth continually. Australia and the University of Washington had the maximum centrality. The USA and the University of Sydney were the most prolific country and institution respectively, thus indicating that they are important in this field. Publications were devoted to the disciplines of neurology, orthopedics and rehabilitation. The highest cited journal is Spine (18478), followed by European Spine Journal (11344) and Pain (11097). The systematic review, disease burden, epidemiology, clinical practice recommendations, and primary care management are the key subjects covered by highly cited papers. The keywords were primarily concerned with pain etiology, disease type, clinical treatment, and trials. Burst keywords in LBP were controlled trial, practice guideline, stability, adolescent, individual, activation and expression, which can be regarded as research hotspots and frontiers.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the data clearly shows a consistent increase in LBP studies. The historical review provides insight into LBP as well as valuable information for researchers to identify new perspectives on potential cooperative institutions, hot topics, and a strong foundation for future research.

腰痛的科学计量学分析与可视化

背景:虽然腰痛(LBP)是全球疾病负担之一，但有关腰痛科学计量学分析的文献有限。目的利用科学计量学分析和可视化方法，揭示腰痛的研究现状和发展动态。方法检索Web of Science核心馆藏2011 - 2020年腰痛相关文献。利用CiteSpace软件生成相关知识图谱，对文献量、国家/地区与科研机构合作、学科、期刊、高被引文献、关键词等进行科学计量分析。并对纳入文献的研究热点和趋势进行了阐述。结果共获得出版物27968篇，年度出版物数量持续增长。澳大利亚和华盛顿大学的中心性最高。美国和悉尼大学分别是最多产的国家和机构，这表明它们在这一领域很重要。出版物致力于神经学、骨科和康复学科。被引用最多的期刊是Spine(18478)，其次是European Spine journal(11344)和Pain(11097)。系统评价、疾病负担、流行病学、临床实践建议和初级保健管理是高被引论文的主要内容。关键词主要涉及疼痛病因、疾病类型、临床治疗和试验。LBP的突发关键词为对照试验、实践指南、稳定性、青春期、个体、激活和表达，可视为研究热点和前沿。综上所述，数据清楚地显示了LBP研究的持续增加。历史回顾为研究人员提供了深入了解LBP的宝贵信息，为潜在的合作机构和热点问题提供了新的视角，并为未来的研究奠定了坚实的基础。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine is a peer-reviewed journal that provides for the publication of high quality research articles and review papers that are as broad as the many disciplines that influence and underpin the principles and practice of osteopathic medicine. Particular emphasis is given to basic science research, clinical epidemiology and health social science in relation to osteopathy and neuromusculoskeletal medicine. The Editorial Board encourages submission of articles based on both quantitative and qualitative research designs. The Editorial Board also aims to provide a forum for discourse and debate on any aspect of osteopathy and neuromusculoskeletal medicine with the aim of critically evaluating existing practices in regard to the diagnosis, treatment and management of patients with neuromusculoskeletal disorders and somatic dysfunction. All manuscripts submitted to the IJOM are subject to a blinded review process. The categories currently available for publication include reports of original research, review papers, commentaries and articles related to clinical practice, including case reports. Further details can be found in the IJOM Instructions for Authors. Manuscripts are accepted for publication with the understanding that no substantial part has been, or will be published elsewhere.
