Introduction With the wide acceptance of acupuncture, many papers and guidelines recommend that acupuncture is effective for chronic pain (CP). In this study, we applied bibliometric methods to analyze the current research situation of acupuncture intervention in CP, to gain insight into the current situation and future development trend of this field. Material and Methods Science Citation Index Expanded was searched for publications related to acupuncture for CP between 1900 and 2022. VOSviewer, CiteSpace and Thomson Data Analyzer were used to analyze the annual publication, authors and cited authors and their countries (regions) and institutions, journals and cited journals, cited references, co-occurrence keywords, burst keywords, and the relevant centrality. Results A total of 1968 papers were retrieved, the annual publications have shown a rapid growth trend in the recent 20 years. The USA (708) and the Kyung Hee University (31) were the most productive country and institution, respectively, while the USA (0.37) and University of Maryland (0.13) had the highest centrality. MacPherson, Hugh published the most papers in this field (29), and Vickers, A J were the most influential author (289 times cited). Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine was the most productive journal (92), whereas PAIN was the most influential one (4743 times cited). Breivik, H’s (2006) paper had the most citation count (3025), while Furlan’s (2005) paper had the highest centrality (0.23). The research focuses in this field mainly include pain, electroacupuncture, Low back pain, Systematic review, Randomized controlled trial etc. Researchers are currently paying more attention to the psychological problems caused by CP. Conclusion The research of acupuncture for CP will be further expanded. International cooperation of this research field needs to be further strengthened. More high-quality designed trials need to be conducted.

“…In addition, the prevalence of sleep disorders and nonorganic sleep disorders in the ROK is often reported to be lower than that of other countries. The reported prevalence of insomnia, based on an interview with Korean children, was 16% [ 8 ], and the estimated prevalence of insomnia that was determined through insurance data was 0.4% [ 12 ]. Early diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders in children are vital to prevent behavioral disorders and learning disabilities [ 5 ].…”

Objectives Child and adolescent sleep is an important factor for brain and physical development. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the prevalence of sleep disorders and nonorganic sleep disorders in children and adolescents and determine the type of utilization of medical institutions. This study analyzed the prevalence and type of medical institutions in Korean children and adolescents with sleep disorders and nonorganic sleep disorders. Methods This study used data recorded in the Health Insurance Review and Assessment-National Patient Sample (HIRA-NPS) database from 2010 to 2017. Details of medical institution type and patient’s sex, age, and treatment type were extracted for patients younger than 20 years with sleep disorders and nonorganic sleep disorders. Results Among 2,536,478 patients under age 20, we identified 3,772 patients with sleep disorders or nonorganic sleep disorders. From 2010 to 2017, the prevalence of sleep disorders in children and adolescents was 0.07% to 0.09%. The utilization rate of Korean medical institutions was 30.47%. The prevalence of nonorganic sleep disorders and the utilization rate of Korean medical institutions were 0.06% to 0.08% and 45.99%, respectively. Conclusion The prevalence of sleep disorders and nonorganic sleep disorders in the under-20 population was 0.14% to 0.16%. More than 70% of patients with nonorganic sleep disorder who were younger than 9 years used Korean medical institutions.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is common, with a 10% global prevalence and a significant health problem, and is one of the main causes of morbidity. Patients with COPD experience various types of sleep problems with insomnia as the most common sleep disorder. The presence of sleep disorders further deteriorates their quality of life. Benzodiazepines (BZDs) are commonly prescribed drugs for insomnia. Several meta-analyses have shown that BZDs effectively reduce insomnia; however, severe side effects including rebound insomnia, next-day hangover, anterograde amnesia, and cognitive impairment occur. Since COPD patients often complain of symptoms such as shortness of breath, safe treatment for sleep disorders is needed. Melatonin supplements have a safe profile and are well-tolerated. Therefore, melatonin can be safely prescribed to treat insomnia in patients with COPD. In addition, due to the anti-inflammatory activity of melatonin, it can be an alternative to BZDs for improving insomnia symptoms without exacerbating respiratory symptoms. It would be helpful to more actively screen and detect sleep disorders in adults with COPD, and to provide safe melatonin treatment for improving their quality of life.
