A cross-database bibliometric analysis of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder in Parkinson's disease research.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) is increasingly recognized as both a prodromal marker and a significant predictor of Parkinson's disease (PD) progression. Despite a surge in related research, a comprehensive bibliometric evaluation summarizing the field's development, key contributors, and thematic evolution remains lacking. This study aimed to uncover the knowledge structure and emerging frontiers in RBD-related PD research through bibliometric analysis.

Methods

On September 1, 2,025, an extensive literature search was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus databases using standardized RBD-related PD keywords. Bibliometric analysis and knowledge mapping were performed with CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R software.
