ACUPUNCTURE A POPULAR THERAPY In recent years, greater attention has been paid to Acupuncture treatments in neurology and psychiatry, with the main aim of restoring or “normalizing” function in aberrant brain circuits, in order to have a positive impact on the patient's quality of life. Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) methods such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or dry needles based cortical stimulation , have been increasingly used not only in research but also in clinical settings. To date, depression is the only psychiatric disorder for which TMS has been approved and used extensively as a therapeutic approach. Meanwhile, other brain disorders such as tinnitus, chronic pain, migraine, dementia, Parkinson's disease , and dystonia are currently in development by optimizing key parameters such as the most appropriate brain target, stimulation protocols and candidate symptoms to treat.
