摘要

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS), have emerged as promising tools in neurorehabilitation. These methods modulate neural activity in targeted brain regions, enhancing neuroplasticity and functional recovery without the need for invasive procedures. TMS and tDCS are particularly effective in motor and cognitive rehabilitation, while tSMS offers benefits in reducing cortical excitability. The development of portable, user-friendly devices allows for at-home treatment, offering significant advantages such as increased convenience, cost-effectiveness, and personalized care. Home-based NIBS facilitates more frequent treatment sessions, enhancing compliance and motivation, while enabling remote monitoring by clinicians. As technology advances, the integration of NIBS into neurorehabilitation programs is likely to become more prevalent, providing patients with improved opportunities for recovery and quality of life.
