Abstract: Objective To explore the research hotspots and main content of the treatment of soft tissue injury with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in CNIK in the past 20 years, and to provide reference for the formulation of relevant policies and further research. Methods Based on CNKI, relevant literature was retrieved through subject terms. CiteSpace software was used for visualization analysis of authors, institutions and keywords. Finally, correlation analysis was carried out based on specific content. Results and Conclusion The cooperation networks between authors and research institutions were scattered, and most of them were independent studies. The establishment of cooperation network of research institutions is obviously limited by region. Based on keywords collinear, cluster and emergent analysis, during the sample statistical period, the research content of the treatment for soft tissue injury with TCM focused on clinical trials, especially the clinical therapeutic effects of different treatment schemes. The keywords cluster map mainly forms 10 clusters which are effective and can be analyzed. The treatment for soft tissue injury with TCM focuses more on the external application.
