Abstract
The bibliometrics method is used to analyze the literature related to the treatment of simple obesity with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), to understand the current situation and the development tendency of obesity intervention technology. From a variety of literature databases, the papers on the treatment of simple obesity by TCM from 1980 to 2016 are selected, and 640 papers are finally included. The papers are analyzed from six dimensions: time distribution, type of publication, distribution of authors and units, fund projects, titles and key words. According to the study, since 2001, the number of articles published has been steadily increasing; Beijing, Guangzhou and other first-tier cities have paid more attention to obesity, and some core research teams have formed; high-frequency keywords of intervention technology mainly include “acupuncture”, “electro-acupuncture”, “acupoint catgut embedding”, “ear acupoint” and “cupping”. The results show that the research of TCM intervention technology for obesity is in the rapid development stage with broad application prospects. This paper can provide reference for clinical practice of TCM treatment of obesity.
