However, there have been few bibliometric studies conducted so far. In this study, bibliometric analysis was used to explore the current status and future trends of migraine treatment research.Methods: Migraine treatment-related articles were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection on December 7, 2022. Quantitative variables were analyzed by the R-tool bibliometrix and Excel 2020. VOS viewer and CiteSpace software were used to visualize citation, co-authorship, co-occurrence, and co-citation analysis of countries/regions, organizations, authors, references, and keywords.Results: A total of 3294 articles were included with the global publication output showing a slow upward trend. The United States was the most productive country with 1116 papers and gained the most citations. Albert Einstein College of Medicine was the most active institution with 176 papers. Headache published the most articles in this domain, while Cephalalgia was the most commonly co-cited journal. Lipton, RB published the most articles and had the most citations. Tepper S, 2017, Lancet neurology and Silberstein S, 2004, Cephalalgia were defined as classic articles. The current research mainly focuses on CGRP-related therapeutics, such as fremanezumab, erenumab and ubrogepant.Conclusion: Based on the analysis of bibliometric data on migraine treatment over the past decade, the trends and the knowledge graph of the country, organization, author, reference, and the keyword were identified, providing accurate and quick positioning of the critical information in the domain.Keywords: migraine, treatment, bibliometric analysis, research trends, hot spots
