Abstract

Objective

The objective of this study was to analyze the published literature on the utilization of dry needling in the management of neck pain.

Methods

We performed a bibliometric analysis of publications from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2022. Using the Scopus database, articles about the utilization of dry needling in neck pain were found. Scopus analyzer was used to obtain results such as “documents by year,” “source,” “country,” and so on. VOS viewer Version 1.6.18 was used to analyze various units such as “co-authorship,” “co-occurrences,” and “citation analysis.”

Results

The search yielded 125 articles. Most articles were published in the years 2022, followed by 2021. A network analysis of various parameters reveals that the topic has a high research potential.

Conclusion

This bibliometric analysis offers an understanding of the literature on dry needling therapy for neck pain. The number of studies in this sector has increased over a decade. There is a gap in research from low- and middle-income countries on use of dry needling in the management of neck pain.

干针治疗颈痛的研究趋势：文献计量分析

方法我们对2002年1月1日至2022年12月31日期间发表的文献进行了文献计量分析。利用 Scopus 数据库，我们找到了有关干针治疗颈部疼痛的文章。使用 Scopus 分析器可获得 "按年份分列的文献"、"来源"、"国家 "等结果。使用 VOS 浏览器 1.6.18 版分析了 "合著者"、"共同出现 "和 "引文分析 "等多个单元。结果检索到 125 篇文章。大部分文章发表于 2022 年，其次是 2021 年。通过对各种参数进行网络分析，我们发现该主题具有很高的研究潜力。十年来，该领域的研究数量有所增加。低收入和中等收入国家在使用干针疗法治疗颈痛方面的研究还存在空白。
