Article Abstract
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) are non-invasive methods for stimulating cortical neurons that have been increasingly used in the neurology realm and in the neurosciences applied to movement disorders. In addition, these tools have the potential to be delivered as clinically therapeutic approach. Despite several studies support this hypothesis, there are several limitations related to the extreme variability of the stimulation protocols, clinical enrolment and variability of rTMS and tDCS after effects that make clinical interpretation very difficult. Aim of the present study will be to critically discuss the state of art therapeutically applications of rTMS and tDCS in dystonia.

The non-fluent/agrammatic variant of primary progressive aphasia is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by effortful language production and impaired comprehension of grammatically complex sentences. Recently, interest in non-pharmacological interventions has increased, particularly regarding techniques that allow for non-invasive brain stimulation, such as transcranial direct current stimulation. The main purpose of this study was to investigate whether the use of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation applied to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex during individualized language training for 25 min a day at 5 days a week for 2 weeks would lead to significant oral naming improvements in patients with agrammatic variant of primary progressive aphasia.

Neurophysiological alterations represent a growing concern in oncology, affecting both the central and peripheral nervous systems through diverse mechanisms. These include direct tumor infiltration, paraneoplastic immune responses, systemic inflammation, metabolic dysregulation, and treatment-induced neurotoxicity. Neurological complications range from cognitive impairment and peripheral neuropathy to motor deficits and autonomic dysfunction.

Epilepsy is a prevalent neurological disorder that affects more than 50 million individuals worldwide, characterized by seizures, and is often associated with complications such as cognitive impairments, and an increased risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Despite advancements in pharmacological treatments, one-third of patients develop drug resistance and some experience serious side effects related to drug therapy. This highlights the urgent need for alternative therapeutic approaches.

In recent years, the ongoing development of transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has demonstrated significant potential in the treatment and rehabilitation of various brain diseases. In particular, the combined application of TES and TMS has shown considerable clinical value due to their potential synergistic effects. This paper first systematically reviews the mechanisms underlying TES and TMS, highlighting their respective advantages and limitations.
