The Impact of Light, Electrical, and Magnetic Neuroregulation Interventions on Sleep-wake Disorders

February 11, 2025 updated by: Chun-Feng Liu, Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University
Carry out precise and effective neuromodulation interventions, and develop new neuromodulation technologies for sleep disorders. Use phototherapy, transcranial electrical/magnetic stimulation and other therapies to conduct self-controlled intervention studies on insomnia, narcolepsy, and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder .
