Abstract

Objective: Vagus nerve electrical stimulation (Vagus Nerve Stimulation, VNS) therapy is a non-invasive treatment for refractory epilepsy and other neurological diseases, which analyzes the research status and development direction of vagus nerve electrical stimulation therapy in the past 45 years. Methods: Using the CiteSpace aims to reveal the research hotspots and development trends in this field. Through bibliometric methods, keywords, authors, research institutions, and time trends, are analyzed to provide reference and inspiration for research in this field. Results: 797 articles were included, the annual publications of the field, Fang Jiliang, Li Shaoyang, Wang Yu, Feng Zhen, etc, VNS correlation research in recent 45 years mainly focused on "refractory epilepsy, depression, atrial fibrillation", and the amount of acupuncture showed the rising trend. In this field, 26 co-present keywords and 11 cluster modules were formed through keyword analysis. Conclusion: Domestic VNS research is in the development stage, and the research topic focuses on neurological diseasesTo strengthen the cooperation between authors and institutions to promote the high-quality development of VNS related research. This study has preliminarily demonstrated the value of VNS for neurological diseases. In the past 45 years, related research perspectives are diverse, and mechanistic research has become a research fever in recent years.
