Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is the most common form of primary osteoporosis among women, and the associated pain often drives patients to seek clinical intervention. Numerous studies have highlighted the unique clinical be
To explore the research trends in ET for pain treatment in PMOP patients over the past decade.
All scholarly works were meticulously sourced from the Science Citation Index-Expanded within the prominent Web of Science Core Collection. Utilizing the capabilities of CiteSpace 6.2.R5, we conducted a thorough analysis of publications, authors, frequently cited scholars, contributing nations, institutions, journals of significant citation, comprehensive references, and pivotal keywords. Additionally, our examination explored keyword cooccurrences, detailed timelines, and periods of heightened citation activity. This comprehensive search, from 2014 through 2023, was completed within a single day, on October 11, 2023.
In total, 2914 articles were ultimately included in the analysis. There was a rapid increase in annual publication output in 2015, followed by stable growth in subsequent years. Boninger, Michael L, is the most prolific author, whereas Ware JE has the most citations. The United States’ global influence is significant, surpassing all other nations. The University of California System and Harvard University are the most influential academic institutions. J Bone Joint Surg Am is the most influential journal in this field. “Spinal cord injury” is the keyword that has gar
The academic development of the field of ET for pain in PMOP has matured and stabilized. Clinical management and rehabilitation strategies, along with the mechanisms underlying the relationship between ET and bone resorption analgesia, continue to be the current and future focal points of research in this field.
Core Tip: This study presents a comprehensive analysis of research trends in exercise therapy for pain management in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients over the last decade. By utilizing CiteSpace and analyzing 2914 articles, this study highlights key authors, institutions, and nations contributing to this field. The findings emphasize the growing global influence of the United States and the pivotal role of interdisciplinary collaboration. With “spinal cord injury” as a major research focus, this study revealed that the role of exercise therapy in pain management and bone resorption analgesia will continue to drive future research on postmenopausal osteoporosis.
