Research Square September 8, 2022 Maria Helha Fernandes-Nascimento, André Brooking Negrão, Karine Viana-Ferreira et al.
A bibliometric analysis of publications on ibogaine for treating substance-related disorders from 1991 to 2020 found that research output grew steadily, with an increase of 5.1 publications per year between 1991 and 2000. The subsequent two decades showed continued but fluctuating publication volumes, with the United States being the most prominent contributor. The analysis suggests that despite variations over time, research on ibogaine persists and points toward future directions for public health interventions.
