ABSTRACT
Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA) remains a major global health challenge, with high prevalence in Africa and India. This study aims to explore global research trends, major scientific contributions, and the role of Ayurvedic medicine in the management of SCA. A scientometric analysis was performed using databases such as Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. The findings highlight leading research countries, key publication trends, impactful studies, and the growing interest in integrative approaches including Ayurved. We aimed to conduct a thorough bibliometric and scientometric analysis of the literature on sickle cell anemia. Search was conducted across three major databases: Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. Keywords used included “Sickle cell anemia and Ayurved”, Sickle cell disease and Ayurveda”,” Sickle cell anemia and herbal medicine” Publications from 2000 to 2023 were analysed for publication trends, citation impact, top journals, and leading countries in SCA research.
