目的：通过CiteSpace分析针灸治疗慢性疲劳综合征（CFS）的研究现状及发展方向。方法：以CNKI 中文数据中建库至2021年1月文献作为资料来源，将其数据导入CiteSpace进行可视化分析，通过对合作网 络、关键词聚类、关键词共现等分析方法研究作者、机构、时间曲线、研究热点及未来趋势。结果：截止2021 年1月，检索到针灸治疗CFS相关文献546篇，筛选后纳入493篇。作者可视化分析显示文献被引频次≥7 次的共4位，发文量≥13篇的共10位。研究机构可视化分析显示发文频次≥5次的共10个，发文量≥45篇 的共5个。针灸治疗CFS的主要研究热点包括CFS、针刺、艾灸、应激、免疫机制。自建库以来前10位爆发 关键词分别为CF、拔罐、实验研究、电针、应激、随机对照试验、穴位埋线、灸法、腹针、改良长蛇灸。结论： 主要研究趋势治疗方法为艾灸与腹针疗法，穴位为孙氏腹针、靳三针，病因病机为脑肠轴、肠道菌群、HPA 轴等，共病为焦虑抑郁共病，同时缺少针灸防治CFS的相关研究。针灸治疗CFS的研究数据丰富、治疗方 法多样、基础研究与临床研究比重平衡，但研究机构及研究者沟通交流较少。

To analyze research status and direction of development of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) using CiteSpace. Methods: Data from literature from the CNKI database dated up to January 2021 were imported into CiteSpace for visual analysis, and the authors, institutions, time curve, research hotspots, and future trends were analyzed by cooperation network, keyword clustering, keyword co-occurrence, and other analysis methods. Results: As of January 2021, 546 articles on acupuncture treatment of CFS were retrieved, and 493 articles were included after screening. The author's visual analysis showed that 4 authors were cited ≥7 times, and 10 authors published ≥13 articles. Visual analysis of research institutions showed that 10 research institutions published ≥5 times and 5 research institutions published ≥45 articles. The main research hotspots of acupuncture in the treatment of CFS include CFS, acupuncture, moxibustion, stress, and immune mechanism. Since the establishment of the database, the top 10 keywords were CF, cupping, experimental research, electroacupuncture, stress, randomized controlled trials, acupoint catgut embedding, moxibustion, abdominal acupuncture, and improved snake moxibustion. Conclusion: The main treatment methods are moxibustion and abdominal acupuncture, and the acupoints are sun's abdominal acupoints and Jin's three needles. The etiology and pathogenesis are at the brain-gut axis, intestinal flora, and HPA axis. The comorbidity is anxiety and depression. There is a lack of research on preventative acupuncture treatment of CFS. The research data on acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of CFS is abundant; the treatment methods are diverse, and the proportion of basic research and clinical research is balanced. However, there is limited communication between research institutions and researchers.
