The aim of the study was to examine the hotspots and global trends of massage in nursing research. ⋯ The results of the study show that massage research is particularly prominent in certain medical fields such as cancer and that studies on the effects of massage in these fields are important. Furthermore, the fact that the leading authors of massage research are often specialized in specific fields and that there is limited collaboration between authors plays an important role in determining the future directions of massage research and highlights the need to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration.

This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the literature on Brief Resolved Unexplained Event (BRUE) and its predecessor, Apparent Life-Threatening Event (ALTE), from 1988 to 2024, in order to identify research trends, collaborative networks, and areas of focus in this field. ⋯ This bibliometric analysis provides valuable insights into the evolution and current state of BRUE/ALTE research. The findings highlight the field's progression toward more precise, evidence-based approaches. The identified research trends and gaps, particularly the limited studies from developing countries, offer direction for future research. These results can inform clinical practice, guide research priorities, and support the development of standardized guidelines for BRUE/ALTE management.

Spinal arachnoiditis (SA) involves chronic inflammation of the spinal arachnoid membrane, often due to surgery, trauma, infections, or autoimmune issues. It leads to ongoing pain and sensory disturbances in the back and lower limbs, along with possible bladder and bowel issues. Treatments focus on symptom relief and improving life quality. Despite growing research interest, a comprehensive analysis of SA's research trends is missing. This study uses bibliometric analysis to explore SA research trends, offering guidance for future research directions. ⋯ This study provides the first extensive bibliometric overview of SA research, examining trends, hotspots, and future paths. It covers 7 key areas: from fundamental and pathogenesis research to personalized medicine and public education, reflecting a shift toward clinical applications and social strategies. The goal is to enhance understanding and treatment of SA.

A Comprehensive Bibliometric Analysis and Visualization of Publication Trends in Hip-Spine Syndrome.
Hip-spine syndrome (HSS) was first described in 1983 as a syndrome characterizing the concurrent symptoms of lumbar and hip joint degenerative disease. This study aims to elucidate the research trends, hot topics, and influential publications in HSS through bibliometric analysis. ⋯ Over the past 4 decades, the volume of publications on HSS has steadily increased. The United States leads both in the quality and quantity of published articles. The most influential works have enhanced our understanding of the pathogenesis and surgical decision-making in HSS. This study provides a comprehensive review of the trends and influential research in HSS.
