Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To analyze the evolution of domestic and international clinical researches on temporomandibular joint disorders(TMD) from 2013 to 2023,to understand the development trends and research hotspots, and to explore future research directions. METHODS: Clinical research literatures on TMD published between 2013 and 2023 were collected through PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), Wanfang Data, and VIP databases. CiteSpace 6.1.R6 software was utilized for visual analysis. Methods included keyword frequency statistics, co-occurrence analysis, clustering analysis, and timeline analysis to construct knowledge maps and identify research hotspots. RESULTS: Domestic research hotspots were primarily focused on pain management, acupuncture therapy, and tissue repair. In contrast, international researches heavily emphasized quality of life and non-invasive treatment approaches. Both domestic and international studies underscored the importance of interdisciplinary integration and the application of new technologies. Keywords such as "acupuncture treatment" have appeared relatively late in domestic researches but showed a clear trend, indicating an interest in the application of traditional medicine and emerging technologies. International researches had earlier focused on psychological factors and quality of life, and leaded in the application of new materials and technologies. CONCLUSIONS: Although there are differences in methods and focal points between domestic and international researches, there is a consistent focus on core issues such as pain management and the application of imaging technologies. Future researches should enhance attention to psychological factors and comprehensive health management, draw on international experience, explore the application of new materials and new technologies, and promote interdisciplinary collaboration to improve the diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders and the quality of life of patients.

Key words: Temporomandibular joint disorders, Clinical research, Research hotspots, Visual analysis
