Non-invasive brain stimulation in neurological diseases.
Beteiligte Einrichtungen
Abstract
cognitive impairment, such as aphasia and neglect, has been addressed to facilitate functional recovery. In Parkinson’s disease, brain stimulation has been evaluated to improve motor and non-motor symptoms. In the present review we provide an update of the field of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to improve motor and higher cognitive functions in patients suffering from stroke and Parkinson’s disease. Rather than attempting to be comprehensive in regard of the reviewed scientific field, this article may be
considered as a present day’s framework of the application of non-invasive brain stimulation on selected examples of common neurological diseases. At the end we will briefly discuss open controversies and future directions of the field which has to be addressed in upcoming studies.
