The Application of Acupuncture Therapy for Inflammatory Arthropathies Over the Past Decade: A Bibliometric Analysis

This bibliometric study fills a critical knowledge gap by systematically mapping the global research landscape of acupuncture for inflammatory arthropathies, revealing China's quantitative dominance versus the U.S.'s qualitative leadership and a skewed focus on clinical validation over mechanistic exploration. These findings underscore the imperative for interdisciplinary collaboration to bridge evidence-practice gaps and elucidate acupuncture's biological underpinnings in inflammatory arthropathies.
