[Objectives] This study was conducted to perform visual analysis of the research hotspots and development trends of Cyperi Rhizoma in the field of antidepressant based on CiteSpace, so as to explore the application and development direction of Cyperi Rhizoma in the field of antidepressant. [Methods] Highly-relevant literatures were selected from the core database of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and CiteSpace and WPS office software were employed to visually analyze relevant contents such as publishing institutions, scholars, keywords, publishing time, and citation frequency. [Results] A total of 297 domestic relevant literatures were selected. Most of the publications, institutions and authors were concentrated in universities, affiliated institutions and scientific research institutes of traditional Chinese medicine in China, and no relatively novel applied research direction has emerged. At present, the hot spots and frontiers of application were mostly concentrated in its role in treating depression, anxiety, gynecological diseases and other disorders. [Conclusions] The research on Cyperi Rhizoma for its antidepressant effects in China originated in the late 20th century. From 2004 to 2024, studies have primarily focused on its pharmacological principles, mechanisms of action, and classification, while the exploration of its application in specific depressive disorders was limited. Overall, research progress has been relatively slow. Currently, further efforts are needed to optimize the active antidepressant components of Cyperi Rhizoma and clarify its mechanisms of action, which will facilitate its broader application in treating various stages of depressive disorders. |
