Abstract
    [Objective] This study adopts knowledge graph and bibliometric methods to sort out the Chinese and English literature in the field of percutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation(TEAS) over the past 30 years,explore the current knowledge status,research hotspots,and trends in this field,in order to provide reference for future research.[Methods] Use a computer to search for relevant literature on China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) and Web of Science,from inception to December 1,2023. Apply CiteSpace and VOSviewer software to conduct author and institution co-occurrence analysis,keyword clustering and emergence analysis on relevant literature,and draw relevant visualization maps.[Results] A total of 2 753 Chinese literatures and 755 English literatures were included. Through analysis,it was found that there are 20 core authors in the TEAS field,forming a core team consisting of Professor Fang Jianqiao and Professor Wang Junlu. Multiple institutions,such as Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and its affiliated hospitals,Heilongjiang University and its affiliated hospitals,have formed a close cooperation network. Through co-occurrence network visualization analysis,the top 10 keywords in frequency and their 7 clusters formed were identified. The research focus of the core teams at home and abroad is on the analgesic effect and mechanism of TEAS.[Conclusion] TEAS related research has made some progress in the past 30 years,mainly focusing on pain relief,but not limited to the treatment of pain symptoms. The research on the regulatory effects of percutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation on the neuroendocrine immune system,including rehabilitation training,improving sleep quality,improving cognitive function,and alleviating anxiety and depression,has gradually become a hot topic.
