Although previous studies have explored its molecular structure, pharmacological effects, and clinical applications, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of its research trends and future directions remains lacking.Methods: This study employed bibliometric methods to analyze edaravone-related publications from 2000 to 2024, using the Web of Science Core Collection database. The analysis examined publication trends; contributions by countries, institutions, and authors; and keyword clustering. Data visualization tools, such as CiteSpace and VOSviewer, were utilized to identify research clusters and emerging trends in edaravone research.Results: The findings revealed a significant increase in edaravone-related publications, with China, Japan, and the United States as the leading contributors. Notable researchers, including Abe K and Yoshino H, have made substantial contributions to this field. Four major research clusters were identified: free radical scavenging, cerebral infarction, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and oxidative stress. Emerging trends suggest a growing interest in edaravone dexbornel for acute ischemic stroke treatment, as well as its potential applications in blood-brain barrier interactions and Alzheimer’s disease.Conclusion: This bibliometric analysis highlights the growing interest in edaravone and its potential clinical application, particularly in neuroprotection. While this study provides valuable insights into current research trends, future studies should incorporate a broader range of sources and languages to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the impact and scope of edaravone.Keywords: bibliometric, edaravone, free radical scavenger, stroke, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
