Canadian scientists have discovered that brain electromagnetic stimulation can be used to lose weight

According to foreign media reports, a recent study by scientists at the University of Waterloo in Canada found that magnetic stimulation or electrical stimulation of the brains of obese patients may allow patients to eat less and thus help to lose weight.

In the latest research, scientists focused on testing two non-invasive brain stimulation techniques. They found that for obese patients, whether it is electrical pulse or magnetic pulse, it has achieved good results. Typically, the primary goal of brain stimulation is a region called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is generally associated with dietary self-control. For people with eating disorders, such as bulimia and binge eating, it may be helpful to use multiple courses of non-invasive brain stimulation (usually with magnetic pulses).

However, the researchers also acknowledge that the current test results are not final. Peter Howe, director of the Clinical Neurology Laboratory at the University of Waterloo's Preventive Neuroscience Laboratory in Canada, said that when they applied this brain stimulation technique to anorexia patients, the effect seemed less optimistic. The latest research by Howell et al. focuses on the various effects that non-invasive brain stimulation techniques may bring, such as improving creativity, improving mathematical computing skills, and helping to treat strokes. Two common analytical techniques include direct transcranial current stimulation and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Howell said, "There are many new technologies for treating eating disorders. But as far as we know, the results are not ideal." The researchers analyzed the techniques of direct transcranial current stimulation and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. Some techniques for stimulating the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex significantly reduce human desire. In addition, three completed clinical trials and one ongoing clinical trial have shown that non-invasive brain stimulation can reduce food consumption and thus treat obesity. However, the Howell research team noted that all of these studies were very short-lived and involved few volunteers. Therefore, such research requires more clinical trials.
