Abstract:

Objective To analyze the current status, hotspots and trends of researches related to non-invasive brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease in the last decade.

Methods Literature related to non-invasive brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease in the Web of Science Core Collection was searched from January, 2014, to December, 2023, and CiteSpace 6.1.R3 was used to draw a knowledge map of authors, institutions, countries and keywords.

Results A total of 1 351 papers were included, with a general upward trend in the number of publication, with the United States, Italy and China being the high-producing countries, and the University of London being the most prolific institution, with Alfredo Berardelli being the most prolific author. Hot keywords included deep brain stimulation, motor cortex and basal ganglia, and emergent words that have appeared in the last two years included therapy, non-invasive brain stimulation, supplementary motor areas and movement disorders.

Conclusion The research hotspots related to non-invasive brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease in the last decade mainly focus on the stimulation on motor cortical areas, the combined application of non-invasive brain stimulation and deep brain stimulation, and non-invasive brain stimulation and non-invasive neuroimaging techniques, such as electroencephalography and functional imaging. Non-invasive brain stimulation of supplementary motor areas can be further explored to improve movement disorders in Parkinson's disease patients in the future.

Key words: Parkinson's disease, non-invasive brain stimulation, bibliometrics
