Non-invasive brain stimulation is a technology that uses magnetic field or electric field to act on the brain to adjust the activity of cerebral cortex neurons. It mainly includes transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation. The principle is to accelerate the induction of neuroplasticity by changing the excitability of the cerebral cortex. The characteristics are noninvasive, safe and that the patient can tolerate it. This article mainly introduces the theoretical foundation and mechanisms of non-invasive brain stimulation, and its application and safety in stroke complications, neuropathic pain and epilepsy, and discusses the commonly used treatment regimens of non-invasive brain stimulation in different neurological diseases, in order to provide possible treatment reference for the rehabilitation of neurological diseases.
