Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an effective intervention for improving cognitive impairment in patients with stroke. However, its effectiveness the subdomains of cognition conflicting and not clearly established. This systematic review assessed efficacy TMS executive function, attention, memory this population. Seven databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Cumulated Index Nursing Allied Health Literature, NeuroBITE, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, OTseeker, were searched indexed literature until July 2024 to identify all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) effect stroke patients. was performed by Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses guidelines Handbook Library evaluated quality evidence using Risk Bias 2 tools grading recommendations assessment, development, evaluation (GRADE) systems. Meta-analyses standardized mean difference (SMD) (Hedge's g) as measure, subgroups explore potential outcomes. The research included 13 RCTs involving 496 results indicated that could affect function (six SMD = 0.55; 95% confidence interval, CI 0.04-1.05) (nine 0.57; 0.25-0.89) on attention (five 0.32; -0.1 0.75) clear. varied between very low according GRADE approach. In conclusion, may memory, but attention. outcomes from owing heterogeneity bias; therefore, should be considered caution, more rigorous needed.
