ABSTRACT
Objective:
To explore the research focus, frontier and trend of global reseaches about low back pain using bibliometrics and visualization technology.Methods:
The researchs in the Web of Science core database from 2016 to 2020 were retrieved with the subject terms of "low back pain" and categories of rehabilitation, and analyzed with Creating Citation Reports and Analyzing Retrieval Results of Web of Science, as well as the CiteSpace.Results:
A total of 2026 papers were retrieved. The total frequency of citations in the last five years was 6793. The number of papers and citations increased year by year. Most of the papers came from the countries of America, Europe and Australia; the top five university institutions also with high centrality; and funded by US National Research Fund mostly. The top ten journals for number of papers and cited frequency were mainly rehabilitation journals, and the researches mainly focused on orthopedics, sports medicine and healthcare medicine. A total of 468 key words were obtained, including 33 key words with high centrality and 29 key words with Strongest Citation Bursts. Nine papers of highly cited were suggested by Web of Science. A total of 466 references were obtained through CiteSpace, including 35 references with high centrality and 53 references with Strongest Citation Bursts. The researches of key node literature were mainly randomized controlled trails and systematic review.Conclusion:
The researches of low back pain mainly focus on the mechanism and management of pain, such as central sensitization, pressure pain threshold, pain pattern classification, pain directional preference and centralization, pain physiology/neuroscience education, and nonpharmacologic strategies for comprehensive pain care; as well as the psychological and social factors, such as behavioral cognitive therapy/psychologically informed physical therapy, self-efficacy, kinesiophobia, fear avoidance, and variables and interventions related to return-to-work. The trial studies of STarT Back tool, core instruments and standardization of core outcome reporting in clinical trials, and individualized and targeted treatment, would be the global trends in the research of low back pain.
