Abstract

Background and Objective
Since its initial report by James Parkinson in 1817, Parkinson’s disease (PD) has remained a central subject of research and clinical advancement. The disease is estimated to affect approximately 1% of adults aged 60 and above. Deep brain stimulation, emerging as an alternative therapy for end-stage cases, has offered a lifeline to numerous patients. This review aimed to analyze publications pertaining to the impact of deep brain stimulation on the motor pathway in patients with PD over the last decade.

Methods
Data were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection through the library of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (China). The search strategy encompassed the following keywords: “deep brain stimulation”, “Parkinson’s disease”, “motor pathway”, and “human”, from January 1, 2012, to December 1, 2022. Additionally, this review visualized the findings using the Citespace software.

Results
The results indicated that the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and China were the primary contributors to this research field. University College London, Capital Medical University, and Maastricht University were the top 3 research institutions in the research area. Tom Foltynie ranked first with 6 publications, and the journals of Brain and Brain Stimulation published the greatest number of relevant articles. The prevailing research focal points in this domain, as determined by keywords “burst analysis”, “encompassed neuronal activity”, “nucleus”, “hyper direct pathway”, etc.

Conclusion
This study has provided a new perspective through bibliometric analysis of the deep brain stimulation therapy for treating patients with PD, which can shed light on future research to advance our comprehension of this particular field of study.
