Abstract: Objective To explore the evolution and trends of research hotspots in the field of music therapy for anxiety and provide reference and basis for related research．Methods Bibliometric analysis method was used to visualize and analyze the research and literature on music therapy for anxiety in the past 20 years（2003-2023）．Keyword searches were conducted in Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure（CNKI）and Web of Science（WOS）databases,and a knowledge map was drawn using CiteSpace 6.3 R2 software for visualization analysis．Results Through the literature search and screening,506 Chinese and 1782 English literatures were included,and the main authors at home and abroad were researcher teams such as Liu Yuefang,Liu Chunyan,Bradt,Cold and Silverman．The main research institutions at home and abroad were universities,but domestic universities were more independent and had fewer collaborative relationships than foreign ones．The main publishing countries were the United States,China and Turkey,and there was closer cooperation between western countries．Multicenter cooperation with Asian countries was the main form of cross-region research in China．The research hotspots at home were “music therapy”,“psychological intervention”,“five elements music”,while the foreign research hotspots were “pain”,“depression”,and “quality of life”．Conclusions The combination of “music therapy” and “anxiety” is the main research hotspot at home and abroad in recent years．Among them,foreign scholars mainly use anxiety and other psychological problems as research topics to explore the application of music therapy to these issues,while domestic scholars focus on the research of anxiety and propose many music therapy programs for anxiety．In addition,there is relatively little cooperation and communication between domestic and foreign research sectors,and the degree of coincidence among international research teams is not high．Therefore,research teams at home and abroad should strengthen cooperation and communication．Based on the analysis of research hotspots in music therapy for anxiety in the past 20 years,this field has received considerable attention and has developed rapidly,but there are still many aspects that need to be explored and improved through continuous efforts and innovation．
