摘要

目的：

梳理针灸辅助女性生殖研究的现状及热点，为该领域相关临床与基础研究提供借鉴与参考。

方法：

检索中国期刊全文数据库（CNKI）和核心合集数据库（WoS）收录的针灸辅助女性生殖相关研究文献，检索时间段均为建库至2024年11月12日。利用CiteSpace6.2.R6、VOSviewer1.6.19软件对纳入文献的发文量、机构、作者、关键词等信息进行分析，并绘制可视化图谱。

结果：

本研究共纳入文献727篇（其中CNKI 547篇，WoS 180篇），两个数据库年发文量总体均呈上升趋势，相关领域的研究内容不断扩展，研究类型不断丰富。CNKI中发文量最多的机构和作者来自山东中医药大学，WoS中发文量最多的国外机构和作者来自Western Sydney University（西悉尼大学），国内外各机构虽分布松散但均形成了相关核心研究团队。CNKI共检索到388个关键词节点，WoS共检索到341个关键词节点，两个数据库高频关键词主要包括干预措施、辅助生殖技术（ART）、相关疾病及结局指标四大类；研究热点主要集中在针灸对ART中妊娠率、疼痛及不良情绪等的影响，以及针灸在排卵障碍及多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）促排卵中的应用等；近年来针灸改善子宫内膜容受性和卵巢低反应等成为突现的关键词。

结论：

针灸辅助女性生殖研究在国内的发展速度较快，但在国际的影响力不足，且机构之间和研究团队间缺乏协作，应进一步加强合作与交流，提升临床证据水平，推动针灸在该领域的应用。

Abstract

Objective

To summarize the current status and research hotspots of acupuncture-assisted female reproduction and to provide references for clinical and basic research in this field.

Methods

Relevant literature regarding acupuncture-assisted female reproduction included in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science (WoS) was retrieved

with the search period from database inception to November 12

2024. The CiteSpace 6.2.R6 and VOSviewer 1.6.19 software were used to analyze publication volume

institutions

authors

keywords

and to draw visualization maps.

Results

A total of 727 articles were included (547 from CNKI and 180 from WoS). The annual publication volume in both databases showed an overall upward trend

with continuous expansion of research content and increasing diversification of study types. In CNKI

the institution and authors with the most publications were from Shandong University of TCM

while in WoS

the top overseas institution and authors were from Western Sydney University. Although the institutions in both domestic and international databases were relatively scattered

core research teams had formed. CNKI yielded 388 keyword nodes

and WoS yielded 341. High-frequency keywords in both databases mainly included four categories: intervention methods

assisted reproductive technology (ART)

related diseases

and outcome indexes. Research hotspots mainly focused on the effects of acupuncture on pregnancy rate

pain

and negative emotions in ART

as well as its application in ovulation disorders and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In recent years

acupuncture for improving endometrial receptivity and low ovarian response has emerged as a new focus.

Conclusion

The development of acupuncture-assisted female reproductive research is relatively fast in China

but its international influence remains insufficient. Furthermore

collaboration among institutions and research teams is lacking. Future efforts should enhance cooperation and communication

improve the quality of clinical evidence

and promote the application of acupuncture in this field.
