New advances in neuromodulation for mental disorders
Mental disorders encompass a spectrum of conditions involving disturbances in cognition,emotion,thinking,and behavior,with diverse clinical manifestations and complex pathogenic mechanisms.The etiology of these disorders remains unclear,and there are still no effective targeted treatment regimens,posing a significant challenge in the field of medicine.Recent research findings have shown that novel neuroregulation techniques based on electricity,magnetism,light,and sound can effectively treat or alleviate the clinical symptoms of various medically intractable mental disorders.Therefore,this article summarizes and reviews the advances in the development and application of various novel neuroregulation techniques,so as to provide new insights for updating the treatment regimens for mental disorders.
