Cluster Analysis of Global Research Hotspots and Thematic Evolution in Chronic Migraine: A Bibliometric Study (1917-2024).
Pain Res Manag | 2026
Laboratory / animal studySummary
Chronic migraine is a common and debilitating neurological condition affecting many people. This study examined research trends on chronic migraine from 1917 to 2024. Researchers used cluster analysis to identify important themes in the literature. They analyzed 6366 articles from a major database to find patterns. Five key research areas were identified: (1) biological mechanisms and treatment targets, (2) how often chronic migraine occurs, related health issues, and quality of life, (3) clinical management strategies, (4) psychological impacts, and (5) preventive measures. Understanding these themes helps guide future research and improve patient care. The findings show how chronic migraine research has evolved over time. This study highlights the need for continued exploration of these important areas. Overall, it aims to enhance the understanding of chronic migraine and improve treatment options for patients suffering from this condition. Clinical relevance: This study highlights key research areas that could improve chronic migraine treatment and patient care by focusing on biological mechanisms and management strategies.
