FAQ
Am I suitable to receive NIBS?
NIBS techniques are generally safe and well-tolerated, but they may not be suitable for everyone. The high risk group includes:
- Individuals with a history of seizures or epilepsy.
- People with metal implants in the head or brain (excluding dental fillings), such as aneurysm clips or cochlear implants.
- Pregnant women, as the effects on the fetus are not yet fully understood.
- Those with severe or unstable medical conditions or infections on the scalp or skull.
- People taking medications that lower the seizure threshold, unless approved by a healthcare provider.
Always consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if NIBS is appropriate for your specific health situation.
