Abstract in brief

  • This meta-analysis examined whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) helps improve cognitive functions in people with ADHD, focusing on attention, processing speed, memory, and executive skills.
  • The study analyzed five randomized controlled trials with 189 participants and found that rTMS significantly improved sustained attention and processing speed, but not memory or executive functions.
  • While the results suggest rTMS could be beneficial for specific cognitive areas in ADHD, more research is needed to confirm these findings due to limited data.]

#ADHD Analiza pięciu badań ze 189 uczestnikami wykazała, że rTMS (powtarzalna przezczaszkowa stymulacja magnetyczna) ma potencjał w poprawie uwagi podtrzymywanej i szybkości przetwarzania u pacjentów z ADHD ale nie pamięci, czy funkcji wykonawczych. https://t.co/d4XIItRbw6 https://t.co/f4mw0xbDtt
