Key themes identified in this study include allergic asthma, neuroinflammation, and the lung-brain axis, revealing bidirectional communication pathways between peripheral and central immune responses.Conclusion: Based on studies of asthma and the lung-brain axis, we anticipate that AR and the nasal-brain axis likely involve similar neuro-immune mechanisms and peripheral-central response circuits. The nasal-brain axis theory was further supported by its integration with the unified airway hypothesis, solidifying its role as a crucial regulatory mechanism in airway inflammation research.Keywords: airway hyperreactivity, central regulation, lung-brain axis, nasal-brain axis, neuro-immune, bibliometrics visualization
