CiteSpace-Based Metrical and Visualization Analysis of Tai Chi Chuan Analgesia

Abstract

Objective: The objective of the study was to explore the research status and hot topics that are most studied about in Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) analgesia through a metrical and visualization analysis of the literature and provide some references for the experimental research on the analgesic effect of TCC and its clinical applications. Methods: The literature on TCC analgesia was collected from the Web of Science database, and the metrical and visualization analysis was performed using the CiteSpace. 5.6.R4 software in terms of publication outputs, countries, institutions, keywords, highly cited articles, and highly cited journals. Results: The number of annual publications gradually increased over time. The five research groups presented stable cooperative relationships and more publications. The authors ranked as top 1 were from America rather than China, which has more publications. The most common keywords were Tai Chi, randomized controlled trial, older adults, exercise, pain, low back pain, quality of life, management, etc. The literature on knee osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia had the highest citation frequency. The journals with high citation frequency included Cochrane Database System Review, Pain, and Plos One. Conclusions: Increasing attention has been paid to TCC analgesia. Randomized controlled trials, older adults, low back pain, and quality of life were found to be most studied in this field. Investigating clinical efficacy and conducting meta-analyses could be a promising direction in the future. The international cooperation and literature quality of TCC analgesia should be further strengthened.

Research progress, trends, and updates on pollutants removal by Bi2WO6-based photocatalysts under visible light irradiation

“…Social Network Analysis (SNA) can be used to accurately quantify the relationship between cooperative institutions and cooperative countries [ [43] , [44] , [45] ]. The mapping cluster and cooperation network among the top 10 countries in production capacity are shown in Fig.…”

Research progress, trends, and updates on pollutants removal by Bi2WO6-based photocatalysts under visible light irradiation

“…The reason for this phenomenon might have been because the US has more authoritative publications. Social Network Analysis (SNA) can be used to accurately quantify the relationship between cooperative institutions and cooperative countries (Zhang et al 2016;Mao et al 2021;Donthu et al 2021). The mapping cluster and cooperation network among the top 10 countries in production capacity are shown in Fig.…”

Summary and Analysis of Relevant Evidence for Nondrug Nursing Programs in Neonatal Operational Pain Management

“…Repeated painful operations will lead to stress reaction of neonates, and severe cases will be detrimental to the development of neonates. After experiencing long-term operational pain, neonates may suffer from sleep disorders, difficulty in feeding, loss of appetite, and other problems, and at the same time, they may have long-term effects such as changes in nerve development, decreased cognitive ability of behavior, decreased perception ability, depression, and anxiety [ 7 , 8 ]. In recent years, more attention has been paid to the pain of neonates.…”
