description Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI), the most prevalent type of urinary incontinence disorder, has aroused increasing attention among societies since it has caused much inconvenience in daily life. In addition to conventional conservative treatments like medication and pelvic floor muscle training, acupuncture is now frequently advised. However, a bibliometric analysis of the trend of SUI therapies is still lacking. Objectives: This article was carried out using CiteSpace (6.3.1) software to research the use of acupuncture therapy on SUI worldwide over the past 30 years (since the database's inception). Methods: All related articles included were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. CiteSpace (6.3.1) software was used to analyze the number of publications, countries and institutions, authors and cited authors, and burst keywords to assess the hotspots and trends over the previous three decades. And Microsoft Office Excel 2019 was also used for sorting data and generating tables. Results: The articles were retrieved on August 31, 2022. A total of 108 records with publication dates ranging from 1992 to 2022 were discovered. The annual number of publications generally increased. In the aspect of publication regions, the USA ranked first in centrality, but China had the largest number of publications. The China Academic of Chinese Medical Sciences, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, and Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were the top 3 institutions, according to the institution map. Liu Z (Liu ZS) was the most productive author, and Chen Y ranked first in the centrality. The article published by Liu Z (Liu ZS) in 2017 was the most cited reference. “Bladder neck suspension”, “electrical stimulation” and “acupuncture” were popular therapies mentioned among the top ten hot topics. The keywords “therapy”, “postprostatectomy incontinence”, “muscle”, “cell therapy”, and “symptom” ranked in the top five on citation burst. The four frontier topics were “efficacy”, “symptom”, “cell therapy”, and “medical technology”. Conclusion: This study illustrated that the application of acupuncture on SUI had an increasing acceptance worldwide. Recent research has concentrated mainly on acupuncture and electroacupuncture, however, there is still not enough literature on these topics. The valuable information was provided for acupuncture researchers to identify prospects including potential collaborators, cooperation institutions, hot themes, and research frontiers.
