Core Tip

Core Tip: This study presents a comprehensive analysis of research trends in exercise therapy for pain management in postmenopausal osteoporosis patients over the last decade. By utilizing CiteSpace and analyzing 2914 articles, this study highlights key authors, institutions, and nations contributing to this field. The findings emphasize the growing global influence of the United States and the pivotal role of interdisciplinary collaboration. With “spinal cord injury” as a major research focus, this study revealed that the role of exercise therapy in pain management and bone resorption analgesia will continue to drive future research on postmenopausal osteoporosis.
