Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to assess the current research status of Chinese medicine research on treating allergic rhinitis (AR) using bibliometric methods, and to explore research hotspots and pinpoint future trends in this field.
Methods: Articles concerning Chinese medicine for AR in Web of Science Core Collection databases were searched from January 1, 2004, to May 31, 2024. VOSviewer 1.6.20 and CiteSpace 6.3.R1 software were used to conduct descriptive analysis, including publications, authors, countries, institutions, journals, cited journals, cited authors, cited references, and keywords from various angles.
Results: A total of 221 publications were included. Paper production has increased over the past 20 years, despite fluctuations. The most productive country is China, whose Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the institution with the highest number of papers. Germany's Brinkhaus, Benno has the most papers in the discipline, while Bousquet J is the most influential author. Medicine is a journal that has the most research on Chinese medicine for treating AR, while Allergy has the most citations. The most frequently cited reference is a guideline concerning the diagnosis and treatment of AR. The most common keywords are allergic rhinitis, asthma, effect, prevalence, and Chinese herbal medicine.
Conclusion: This study assessed the research status of Chinese medicine for AR via bibliometric approaches from 2004 to 2024, which may be useful for researchers to identify hotspots and frontier trends in this field.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare (JMDH) aims to represent and publish research in healthcare areas delivered by practitioners of different disciplines. This includes studies and reviews conducted by multidisciplinary teams as well as research which evaluates or reports the results or conduct of such teams or healthcare processes in general. The journal covers a very wide range of areas and we welcome submissions from practitioners at all levels and from all over the world. Good healthcare is not bounded by person, place or time and the journal aims to reflect this. The JMDH is published as an open-access journal to allow this wide range of practical, patient relevant research to be immediately available to practitioners who can access and use it immediately upon publication.
