Due to the morbidity associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI), it is essential to have a rehabilitation plan, preferably multi-professional, to obtain the maximum degree of recovery of neurological and neuropsychological functions. Three types of non-invasive treatment techniques have been studied in patients with TBI and shown promising: Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), the transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and transcranial Led Therapy. The displayed data of this article implies that these non-invasive techniques can be used as an effective therapeutic approach to increase brain function in neurocognitive disorders and are a promising treatment for traumatic brain injury patients.

Context: Sleep impairment after Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a common consequence of the injury and frequently complicates recovery. To review in brief the current knowledge in regard to sleep impairment following traumatic brain injury. Evidence Acquisition: The relevant literature was reviewed. Results: Practical issues in regard to epidemiology, clinical presentation, medical workup, as well as pathophysiology and treatment modes were addressed. Conclusion: As the spectrum of civil head and brain trauma is quickly expanding, it is important to increase our knowledge of sleep impairment characteristics in victims of TBI and look for more efficient treatment modes for those impairments than those used today.
