“…Furthermore, academic organizations accounted for just under half of the 32 most productive organizations. Our list of influential headache research institution is similar to a recent scientometric study on the most productive academic institution in headache (8). Taken together, these data suggest that a limited number of well-known academic centers as well as a small number of pharmaceutical organizations are responsible for the majority of our knowledge on migraine pathophysiology and treatment.…”

Background and Objective:ClinicalTrials.gov is a centralized venue for monitoring clinical research and allows access to information on publicly and privately funded studies. To better recognize influential institutions in the field of headache, we identified major organizations conducting clinical trials in migraine research. Furthermore, we examined the frequency of different study designs.Methods: Utilizing the ClinicalTrials.gov application programming interface, we extracted studies including individuals with migraine from February 29, 2000, to July 28, 2020, for the following: (1) host organization, (2) study type, (3) primary purpose, (4) intervention model, and (5) allocation.Results: We included 921 entries encompassing 423 organizations. Thirty-two organizations produced ≥5 entries each and 40.0% of all entries. Most, 86%, were interventional studies while 13.6% were observational studies. The most common study design had a randomized allocation of participants. The most frequent primary purpose was treatment (62.4%) followed by prevention (13.0%). There were 56.9% parallel assignment models, 15.2% single group assignment models, and 12.4% crossover assignment models.Conclusion: A minority of organizations contribute to a significant number of registrations of clinical migraine trials, suggesting that clinical research in migraine is oligarchic. The most common study is interventional and randomized, with parallel assignment of participants with treatment as the primary purpose. This likely reflects the need to evaluate novel putative pharmacological medications.

To present guidelines that explores the potentialities of bibliometric and scientometric studies, which are quantitative, and integrates the qualitative analysis of documents. This goal will broaden the understanding of quantitative results and allow a deeper interpretation of the research results from documents selected by means of bibliometrics. An overview and guidelines for the analysis of performance analysis and scientific mapping of bibliographic research results in the Scopus and Web of Science databases, in addition to the content analysis of articles selected by some network analysis criteria. This article proposes an integrative approach comprising six steps: 1) research design; 2) collection and compilation of data for bibliometric analysis; 3) search expression refinement; 4) bibliometric analysis; 5) qualitative analysis and 6) reporting of research results. Guidelines to guide the analysis of bibliographic research aimed at structuring literature reviews. Integrate content analysis to deepen the interpretation of bibliographic research results. Guide to bibliometric and scientometric analysis using the software: R Bibibliometrix, VOSviewer, Gephi and yEd. The greatest contribution is the guide that guides researchers to structure literature reviews, based on free software.
