Neuromodulatory Effects of Transcranial Pulse Stimulation (TPS) in Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS) is an innovative non-invasive brain stimulation technique using ultrasonic waves. Despite its application in first clinical trials, so far, no systematic overview of its effects across different patient populations has been conducted.
