Abstract
Stimulation in various sites and with various means has been used as a therapeutic tool for many years. Even if the outcome may not always be as satisfactory as expected, the relatively good tolerability and safety of stimulation therapy have maintained the field evolving. In a broad spectrum, non-invasive stimulation therapy can be divided into non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) and non-invasive non-brain stimulation (NInBS). I will revise the novel forms of NIBS and NInBS that have demonstrated beneficial effects on neurological symptoms in the past 3 years, and comment on the tendencies that can be detected with therapeutic application of stimulation in neurological disorders.
