Global trends in the research on benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: A 20-year bibliometric and visualization analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of peripheral vestibular vertigo. Although BPPV is benign, its underlying mechanisms are complicated, and patients diagnosed with BPPV are significantly affected by it in their daily lives. Hence, this study's purpose was to investigate global trends and frontiers in the field of BPPV.

Methods

We searched the research literature published from 2002 to 2021 on BPPV using two databases from the Web of Science Core Collection, and we conducted a bibliometric and visualization analysis. Bibliometric tools were used to perform co-authorship, co-citation, and co-occurrence analyses of countries or regions, institutions, authors, journals, keywords, and references.
