Article Abstract
Purpose: This study analyzed global interest in cryoneurolysis, a minimally invasive nerve ablation technique for non-opioid pain management, identifying temporal trends, geographic distribution, and commercial drivers influencing adoption.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective analysis of Google Trends data (January 2004-March 2025) and PubMed publications (1993-2025) using the keyword "cryoneurolysis." Statistical analyses included Mann-Kendall trend tests, Portmanteau white noise tests, Dickey-Fuller unit root tests, and Spearman correlations. Forecasting employed nonseasonal Holt-Winters smoothing and local polynomial regression.
Results: Search interest remained negligible (SVI = 0) from 2004 to mid-2019, with academic activity preceding public interest by 3-4 years. Both datasets demonstrated significant upward trends (PubMed: τ = 0.80, p < 0.0001; Google Trends: τ = 0.75, p < 0.0001). Commercial driver "Iovera" showed perfect correlation (r = 1.0) with search volume. Geographic concentration was limited to six high-income countries. Forecasting projects sustained growth through 2030, with publications increasing from 46.1 (95% CI: 41.8-50.4) in 2025 to 72.6 (95% CI: 59.2-86.0) by 2030.
Conclusion: Analysis reveals parallel academic-public interest growth driven by commercial factors, geographic concentration in developed nations, and emerging applications in interventional radiology, suggesting wider adoption by 2030.

Department of General Practice, The First People's Hospital of Lin'an District, Hangzhou, Lin'an People's Hospital Affiliated to Hangzhou Medical College, Hangzhou, 310000, Zhejiang Province, China.
Anti-mGluR1 encephalitis is a rare autoimmune disorder manifesting with cerebellar syndrome with varying levels of severity. However, limited data exist regarding the clinical features and treatment strategies for patients suffering from encephalitis associated with anti-mGluR1 antibodies. Herein, we comprehensively review and discuss clinical features of anti-mGluR1 encephalitis to enhance our understanding of this rare disorder.

Background: Orthokeratology (OK) lenses have become a prevalent intervention for myopia control. However, lens decentration, a frequent complication, may influence the efficacy of myopia control. The aim of this study was to systematically assess the impact of OK lens decentration on axial length growth (ALG) in Chinese myopic children through a meta-analysis.

Introduction: Virtual reality (VR) technology is increasingly being explored as a medium for delivering mindfulness-based interventions. While studies have investigated the feasibility and efficacy of VR-based mindfulness interventions, there has been limited synthesis of user experiences and perceptions across diverse applications, hindering the iterative refinement of these technologies and limiting evidence-based guidance for effective deployment in real-world settings. This systematic review aims to comprehensively identify, appraise and synthesise qualitative research on end-user experiences and perceptions of VR-based mindfulness interventions.

Introduction: Although emerging evidence supports the short-term efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), including repetitive TMS (rTMS) and theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TBS-TMS), and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for managing patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP), their clinical utility in managing CMP remains inconclusive. This uncertainty may arise from methodological limitations, including heterogeneity in treatment parameters such as stimulation targets and dosages. Additionally, safety profiles for these non-invasive brain stimulation interventions in patients with CMP remain insufficiently reported, with limited data on adverse events, cumulative risks and long-term safety outcomes.
