Research progress in non-invasive brain stimulation technique for rehabilitation of traumatic brain injury / 中华创伤杂志

ABSTRACT

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability in young adults,leaving patients with multiple sequelae and dysfunction,including cognition,sensation,motor dysfunction and chronic pain.Rehabilitative treatment of functional disorders can help improve the quality of life for TBI patients and help them return to work.Currently,medication and exercise rehabilitation are often adopted,yet with certain limitations.Non-invasive brain stimulation (NBS) mainly includes transcranial magnetic stimulation,transcranial direct current stimulation,low-energy laser therapy,and transcranial Doppler ultrasound.Currently,many studies have been exploring the application of NBS in TBI treatment.NBS is expected to play an important role in improving cognition,sensation,motor function and alleviating chronic pain,providing a new approach for the rehabilitation of TBI patients.This article reviews the common dysfunction after TBI and NBS application in TBI treatment in order to provide reference for its further application.
