Abstract: Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) is one of the fastest-growing fields of medicine today. Recent studies have highlighted the potential of NIBS as an innovative, safe, and cost-effective treatment method applied to insomnia. Starting from treatment mechanism and clinical effect, we summarize the current research status of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial electrical stimulation, the two most common NIBSs used in insomnia treatment, and analyze the existing research limitations and its future development direction, in order to provide references for further promoting the clinical application of NIBS in insomnia treatment.
