Research and development directions in vestibular rehabilitation: a bibliometric analysis.
Review in Frontiers in rehabilitation sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Vestibular rehabilitation training (VRT) has become an indispensable part of treatment for dizziness disorders. VRT is an exercise method that can alleviate dizziness and improve gaze stability and postural control, mainly used for the treatment of patients with vestibular dysfunction. Methods: To analyse the current status, hot spots and trends in research on vestibular rehabilitation, data were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus databases, and selected publications related to dizziness vestibular rehabilitation from 2014 to 2024. Visual analysis tools were utilized to build knowledge maps of the research field, analyzing the distribution of publications, authors, institutions, journals, collaboration networks, co-occurrence, clustering, and burst detection of keywords. Results: A total of 907 publications were included in this study, with an upward trend in the number of annual publications. The United States led in publication quantity, with the University of Pittsburgh ranking first among institutions. Professor Susan L. Whitney (University of Pittsburgh) was the most productive researcher. Recent research hotspots concentrated on unilateral vestibular hypofunction, vestibular neuronitis, and postural balance, providing clinical evidence for targeted VRT intervention. Conclusion: Research on VRT for dizziness is expanding progressively, with vestibular compensation and postural balance as core hotspots. The findings consolidate VRT's clinical application value in guiding personalized intervention for different vestibular disorders. Future research trends will focus on expanding VRT's application scope, formulating individualized protocols, and developing AI-aided targeted VRT, which will optimize clinical efficacy and promote the standardized development of this field.
