Hypothesis
No relative bibliometric analysis has been performed to summarize the progress in this area quantitatively.
Conclusion
The bibliometric analysis revealed a rapid growth of publications related to miRNAs and pain in the past 2 decades.
Supporting Evidence
- Publications in this field have increased annually since 2000.
- China emerged as the most productive country in this research area.
- Keyword analysis identified 'expression,' 'neuropathic pain,' and 'microRNAs' as the most relevant keywords.
Takeaway
This study looked at how much research has been done on tiny molecules called microRNAs and their role in pain, showing that interest in this topic is growing.
Methodology
Literature was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection and analyzed using various bibliometric tools.
Limitations
The study only included English-language publications and did not cover all of 2023, which may affect the overall trend.
