Özet:

 Aims: Low back pain LBP is a prevalent condition and a major contributor to disability worldwide. Despite bibliometric analyses of LBP literature, no study has specifically explored Turkiyes contribution to this field through randomized controlled trials RCTs. This study aims to examine the characteristics of Turkiye-based RCTs on LBP, utilizing PubMed, the most frequently used biomedical search engine. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted on PubMed using the terms low back pain Title and Turkiye OR Turkiye. Only interventional RCTs were included. Data points such as publication year, open-access status, first authors specialty, study content, journal quartile Web of Science, and citation count Google Scholar were analyzed. Results: Most publications are authored by Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation PMR specialists 26 and physiotherapists 24, with emergency medicine specialists 6 in third place. The number of publications increased over time, peaking in 2021 10. Most publications appeared in Q1-Q2-Q3 journals 67. The average citation count is 46.9, median is 29, ranging from 0 to 305, with citation counts strongly influenced by publication year p0.001. The most common research topics are Complementary and Alternative Medicine CAM 15, Physical Therapy Agents 14, and Injections 10. PMR specialists have more citations than other groups p0.001. Open access status did not significantly affect citation counts p0.277. Conclusion: Turkiye-based RCTs on low back pain have steadily increased, with PMR specialists and physiotherapists leading the field. Publications are primarily found in high-impact journals. Key research topics include CAM, physical therapy agents, and injections.
