“…In general, an article with 100 or more citations is considered a “classic” based on the research field and may even be a seminal paper ( 29 ); thus, new researchers in a special field could read them before conducting further research ( 30 ). In the current research, all top 100 papers can be regarded as “classic” papers based on their citation counts, and the citation frequency of the papers is between 262 and 1,569, which is significantly higher than that of other pain symptoms, such as postoperative pain ( 31 ) and pediatric pain ( 19 ). The findings suggest that neuropathic pain research is a major focus in medicine and health.…”
