Research trends of acupuncture therapy on facial paralysis in a decade spanning 2013-2023: A bibliometric analysis

CONCLUSION: Acupuncture's potential in the treatment of facial paralysis merits further research. Authors from different countries/regions and organizations need to eliminate language and academic barriers and strengthen collaboration and communication. Current research hotspots focus on "brain", "nerve", "electrical stimulation", "RCT" and "guidelines". The study of acupuncture mechanisms, especially based on the central nervous system mechanism, may be the future research hotspot.PMID:37972694 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctim.2023.103006
