Abstract/Notes

Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the published literature on the utilization of dry needling in the management of neck pain.

Methods: We performed a bibliometric analysis of publications from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2022. Using the Scopus database, articles about the utilization of dry needling in neck pain were found. Scopus analyzer was used to obtain results such as “documents by year,”“source,”“country,” and so on. VOS viewer Version 1.6.18 was used to analyze various units such as “co-authorship,”“co-occurrences,” and “citation analysis.”

Results: The search yielded 125 articles. Most articles were published in the years 2022, followed by 2021. A network analysis of various parameters reveals that the topic has a high research potential.

Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis offers an understanding of the literature on dry needling therapy for neck pain. The number of studies in this sector has increased over a decade. There is a gap in research from low- and middleincome countries on use of dry needling in the management of neck pain.
