Abstract
This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of research literature on AI-assisted psychological interventions for stroke survivors published from 2000 to 2024, using CiteSpace and VOSviewer to examine research collaboration networks, knowledge structures, and developmental trends. Literature data was sourced from the Web of Science Core Collection database (WoSCC). A total of 450 relevant articles, published between 1 January 2000 and 31 October 2024, were included. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were employed to analyze the literature from dimensions including authorship, country of origin, institutions, journals, references, and keywords. Annual publication output has steadily increased, reaching a peak in 2022 (72 articles), followed by 68 articles in 2023 and 69 articles in 2024. Calabro Rocco Salvatore emerged as the most productive author (9 publications). The United States led…
