There is evidence that approximately 20-90% of patients with mild traumatic brain injury develop posttraumatic symptoms, and 40% of these patients have persistent symptoms after trauma （Bazarian et al., 1999; Koski et al., 2015）. Therefore, mild traumatic brain injury becomes an important cause of temporary disability. Indeed, posttraumatic disorders have a significant epidemiological relevance, even though it is still undervalued in most of the trauma centers （Bazarian et al., 1999） and there is no specific treatment method （Koski et al., 2015）. Recently, many neurological and posttraumatic stress disorders had been treated with noninvasive brain stimulation （Boggio et al., 2010; Fox et al., 2012）.展开更多
