With the rapid development of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) technology, NIBS has shown good therapeutic prospect for mental disorders and neurological diseases in clinical research, and the medical ethical issues related to NIBS have received increasingly attention. This paper analyzed the medical ethical issues of informed consent, safety, and privacy protection faced in the clinical application of NIBS technology by combining the technical characteristics of NIBS, and proposed targeted response strategies, with a view to promoting the healthy development of NIBS technology based on the full protection of patients’ rights.
