Inflammatory and immune pathways in Ménière's disease: a multi-database bibliometric and visualized analysis of research trends

Background

Ménière's disease (MD) is a chronic inner ear disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of vertigo, fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness. Growing evidence indicates that aberrant immune regulation, inflammation, and allergic reactions are involved in the development of MD. However, a systematic synthesis of the current research landscape and evolving hotspots in this field remains lacking.
