Abstract:
In recent years, neuromodulation technology has gradually evolved from exploratory research, animal experiments, and large-sample multicenter randomized controlled trials to become a routine treatment in clinical psychiatry. Neuromodulation methods have also developed from the initial electrical stimulation to various modes of stimulation such as magnetic stimulation, optical stimulation, and ultrasound stimulation. Neuromodulation has gradually become the third effective intervention for mental disorders, alongside medicine and psychotherapy, and is one of the most popular and promising field of clinical psychiatric treatment for the present and the future. Therefore, this article discusses the overall development status of current neuromodulation technology in psychiatry and the overall progress of common neuromodulation techniques, propose some key issues that need to be resolved and the prospects for clinical development in neuromodulation technology, to provide a reference for the research and clinical application of neuromodulation technology in psychiatry.
