Craniocerebral Trauma, Deep Brain Stimulation, RehabilitationAbstract
There is no doubt about the damage to human life, also extended to family and society as a whole, regarding all the functional aspects of those involved, not only the patient itself, which originates from traumatic brain injury, acute or chronic, for external or internal reasons, such as accidents, run overs, falls, crimes, stroke, progressive neurodegenerative diseases that result in dementia states. Over half a century, drugs have been continuously introduced, however their results have constantly been contradictory and frustrating, requiring new attempts with other pharmacological classes. Overall, the limitation is felt in the impossibility of reversing or even merely stabilizing the neurological damage and inefficacy regarding neuroplasticity stimulation. One exception seems to be a new approach, the non-invasive brain stimulation by low-frequency sound pulses (Transcranial Pulse Stimulation, or TPS). Except for some treatment centers, TPS is still unknown, however it has shown to be a valid adjunct in multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs.
