Abstract

Abstract:

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has the advantages of safety, non-invasive, low cost, simple portability and high time resolution. It has been widely used in the research and clinical treatment of brain injury, epilepsy, depression and Parkinson disease. As an effective monitoring method, it can well link the recovery of various functional disorders after stroke with the impact of brain functional regions, and provide more accurate evaluation and guidance for clinical rehabilitation. This article reviews the technical features of fNIRS, along with its applications and progress in treating conditions like post-stroke cognitive impairment, dysphagia, aphasia, and depression, aiming to provide a reference for the treatment and rehabilitation of stroke patients.

Key words: Stroke, Functional near-infrared spectroscopy, Non-motor dysfunction
