However, there is currently no comprehensive analysis of all the literature published in this field. Therefore, in this article, a bibliometric analysis will be conducted on all the literature published in the field of nVNS in the past 20\u2009years.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>All articles and reviews published in this field from 2004 to 2023 were extracted from the WOS core database.

Over the past 20\u2009years, the number of publications in this field has gradually increased, reaching a peak in 2023. The United States and China ranked top two in terms of publication volume, and institutions from these two countries also ranked high in terms of publication volume, citation count, and collaboration intensity. Rong Peijing is the author with the most publications, while Bashar W Badran is the most cited author. Articles in the field of nVNS were most frequently published in Frontiers in Neuroscience, while Brain Stimulation had the most citations.
