| English Abstract: |
| 【Abstract】 Objectives: To analyze the current research status, hotspots and development trends in the field of rehabilitation treatment for spinal cord injury(SCI) from 2015 to 2025, both in China and internationally, and to provide references for future research. Methods: Literature on SCI rehabilitation published from August 1, 2015 to August 1, 2025 was retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) and Web of Science(WOS) Core Collection databases. The Chinese search strategy was "Subject: (spinal cord injury) AND Subject: (rehabilitation) NOT Subject: (stroke)"; The English equivalent was "TS=(spinal cord injur* OR spinal cord traum*) AND TS=(rehabilitation OR occupational therap* OR physical therap*) NOT TS=(stroke)". A total of 4,334 articles from WOS and 1,912 articles from CNKI were included. VOSviewer 1.6.20 software and CiteSpace 6.1.R6 software were used to visualize and analyze the data of the year of publication, countries, authors, and keywords. Results: The publications in WOS database showed a steady upward trend in 2015-2025, while publications in CNKI peaked in 2018 and then declined. The top three most productive countries were the United States, Canada, and China. Author collaboration networks were well-established internationally, while domestic collaborations were more limited to individual institutions. Internationally, research hotspots centered on areas such as individual functional recovery, quality of life, and functional electrical stimulation, with frontiers in neuromodulation, neurogenic bladder, and motor function. Domestically, research hotspots included neurogenic bladder, rehabilitation nursing, and acupuncture, with recent expansion into urodynamics, brain-computer interfaces, and neurorehabilitation. Conclusions: Between 2015 and 2025, international research on SCI rehabilitation concentrated on neural regulation mechanisms and individualized functional recovery, while domestic research focused on clinical integration and the application of distinctive techniques, forming a complementary pattern. |
