Abstract

Asthma is a complex chronic respiratory disease that affects most people worldwide and imposes a heavy economic and health burden. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is one of the common treatments for asthma; however, there is a lack of bibliometric analysis data on the relationship between bronchial asthma and traditional Chinese medicine. This study analyzes and visualizes current research status and future trends. Relevant English publications on traditional Chinese medicine treatment for bronchial asthma were collected from the Web of Science core collection, and bibliometric analysis was conducted using software like Histcite. A total of 406 articles meeting the criteria were included after manual screening. China (including Taiwan) emerged as the leading contributor, with the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine being the institution with the highest number of publications. 'Journal of Ethnopharmacology' was a significant publication in this domain. The most frequently occurring keyword on the main display platform was 'airway inflammation.' Future research hotspots are expected to focus on intestinal flora and metabolism. This research offers a fresh perspective for understanding developments in this field.
