A Multi-Database Bibliometric and Translational Mapping of Microglial Mechanisms in Spinal Cord Pain Signaling

CONCLUSION: These results indicate that the field is moving beyond a purely inflammatory perspective toward systemic intervention models. Currently, there is a greater focus on microglial homeostasis and M2-like anti-inflammatory/immune repair processes, as well as sex and metabolic factors that may influence responses. This research direction supports immune repair and more personalized analgesia. Simultaneously, stronger mechanistic arguments require cell state-specific measurements rather...
