Introduction: This bibliometric study explores the use of herbal medicine as a treatment for insomnia, identifying trends and gaps in existing literature. It provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of research, guiding future efforts and improving care quality for insomnia patients. Materials and methods: This research aims to explore the evolution of scientific disciplines by finding and identifying trends, patterns and correlations in scientific texts related to certain topics. The focus of this study was on insomnia, therapy, and "herbal medicine" using both quantitative and qualitative analysis. Results and discussion: The study evaluates the use of herbal medicine for insomnia, finding a significant increase in publications but a lack of information on correct dosage. This highlights a gap in literature and calls for further research on dosage and methodological standards to improve its effectiveness.; and Conclusions: The study confirms the effectiveness of herbal medicine as an insomnia therapy, but highlights the need for further research on appropriate dosage for safer and more effective treatment. This research was conducted in January 2025.

Introduction: With its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capabilities, Moringa oleifera is gaining interest for its neuroprotective potential. This bibliometric analysis examines Moringa oleifera research trends, gaps, and future prospects, focusing on its function in cognitive deficits and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer{\textquoteright}s. Topiramate and riluzole{\textquoteright}s neuroprotective effects are also discussed.; Materials and methods: Research trends in Moringa oleifera were examined using Scopus-indexed literature. The plant parts studied (leaves, seeds, roots), doses, and methods were key. The review included antiepileptic medication trials to complement their neuroprotective properties. Results and discussion: Antioxidant and phytochemical properties made Moringa oleifera a promising neuroprotectant, according to the review. However, dose reporting and plant part specification variations compromised findings{\textquoteright} reliability and reproducibility. To maintain methodological consistency, dose-response studies, uniform reporting techniques, and interdisciplinary collaboration are future research topics. Antiepileptic medications like topiramate and riluzole modulate neurotransmitter systems and provide neuroprotection with natural products. Conclusions: This analysis emphasizes the necessity for rigorous research and standardized methods to enhance Moringa oleifera and related pharmacological compounds{\textquoteright} therapeutic potential. Addressing these obstacles will improve findings{\textquoteright} reliability and clinical application, enabling evidencebased neurological condition treatments. This research was conducted in January 2025.
