Abstract：Objective Based on CiteSpace,analyze the research hotspots and trends of the external treatment of tra-ditional Chinese medicine for stroke hemiplegia.Methods Retrieve the relevant literatures on the external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine for stroke hemiplegia in CNKI.Use the CiteSpace6.4.R1 software to generate co-occurrence maps of authors,research institutions and keywords of the relevant literatures,and conduct a visual analysis of them.Results A total of 4 778 literatures were finally included.The annual number of published papers generally showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing.The author with the most publications was ZHANG Weimin.The cooperation among authors was relatively loose,and a core author team had not been formed in this field.The top three institutions in terms of the number of publications were Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine(43 papers),Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine(39 papers)and Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine(39 papers).The re-sults of keyword co-occurrence showed that the top three keywords in terms of frequency were acupuncture therapy,acu-puncture treatment and rehabilitation training.The cluster analysis formed 15 natural clusters.The keyword burst analysis showed that spastic state was the keyword with the longest burst duration and the earliest appearance,and nerve function,limb function and scalp acupuncture therapy were the keywords with the highest burst intensity.Conclusions There are a relatively large number of published papers in the research field of the external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine for stroke hemiplegia,but the cooperation across institutions and regions needs to be strengthened.Currently,electro-acu-puncture treatment is the focus in this field.Efficacy research and the combination of therapies are research hotspots,and traditional Chinese medicine nursing is an indispensable part of this field.Mechanism research,exploration of emerging treatment methods and data mining may be the research trends in the future.
