PURPOSE: This study aimed to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to characterize global research patterns, scientific output, and emerging trends in the treatment of female chronic pelvic pain (CPP).
METHODS: Publications related to female CPP treatment were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), limited to the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). The search covered January 2005 to June 2026 and was restricted to English-language original articles. An expanded Boolean search strategy incorporating terms for population, condition, and intervention was applied. The retrieval was completed on June 29, 2026. Bibliometric indicators were analyzed using VOSviewer (v.1.6.20), CiteSpace (v.6.3.R1), and the R package bibliometrix (v.4.3.3). Author, institution, and country names were standardized prior to analysis.
RESULTS: A total of 14,110 articles were identified, contributed by 57,872 authors from 41,677 institutions across 123 countries, published in 1828 journals. The annual growth rate was 8.44% (complete calendar years 2005-2025). The USA led in publication volume (n = 2916) and total citations (TC = 91,126). Harvard University was the most productive institution (814 articles). Fertility and Sterility ranked first in within-dataset h-index (94) and TC = 34,864. Keyword co-occurrence analysis revealed four thematic clusters encompassing clinical assessment and psychosocial dimensions, molecular pathogenesis, surgical management, and specific populations. Citation burst analysis identified the keywords with the strongest bursts in successive periods, including "peritoneal fluid" (strength = 29.14, 2005-2013), "trial" (28.26, 2010-2018), "anxiety" (22.19, 2020-2026), and "Mendelian randomization" (17.20, 2024-2026).
CONCLUSION: Global research on female CPP treatment has demonstrated sustained growth, with recent trends suggesting increasing emphasis on psychosocial dimensions, integrated care approaches, and novel causal inference methodologies.
