Background/Objectives: Aging leads to cognitive decline that may progress dementia. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has emerged as a strategy improve functions in older adults with mild impairment (MCI). This study reviews the effectiveness of tDCS these populations. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Randomized controlled trials obtained from PubMed, Scopus, Cinahl, Web Science were included. Studies intervention MCI selected, excluding those without control group or did not measure relevant variables. Methodological quality analyzed PEDro scale applied random-effects models. Results: total 27 studies included this review, which 13 part meta-analysis. showed significant improvements global function (p < 0.001) selective attention = 0.044), but mental flexibility visual attention. Positive effects on life depressive symptoms also reported some studies. Conclusions: MCI, inconsistencies persist its magnitude duration. It is recommended standardize protocols conduct greater methodological rigor long-term follow-up.
