Due to the morbidity associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI), it is essential to have a rehabilitation plan, preferably multi-professional, to obtain the maximum degree of recovery of neurological and neuropsychological functions. Three types of non-invasive treatment techniques have been studied in patients with TBI and shown promising: Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), the transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and transcranial Led Therapy. The displayed data of this article implies that these non-invasive techniques can be used as an effective therapeutic approach to increase brain function in neurocognitive disorders and are a promising treatment for traumatic brain injury patients.
