  Abstract: Objective To analyze the current research status and hotspots in the treatment of pediatric Brain Diseases with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), providing reference for further studies. Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on TCM treatment of pediatric encephalopathies published between January 1, 2000, and June 7, 2025, were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, VIP Chinese Journal Service Platform, and China Biology Medicine (CBM) database. The annual publication volume was counted, and CiteSpace software was used to visualize authors, institutions, and keywords. Results A total of 3747 articles were included after screening. The annual number of publications showed a fluctuating upward trend overall. The most prolific author was Liu Zhenhuan, and the institution with the highest output was Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine. However, collaboration within the field remains insufficient. Keyword analysis indicated that current research hotspots focus mainly on the treatment of tic disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), with sustained interest in these areas. Conclusion Research on TCM treatment of pediatric encephalopathies demonstrates diversified therapeutic approaches and shows promising potential in clinical practice. Future efforts should strengthen cross-institutional, multi-center communication and collaboration to promote sustained development in this field.
