Abstract

traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause numerous cognitive deficits. these deficits are associated with disability and reduction in quality of life. noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) provides excitatory or inhibitory stimuli to the cerebral cortex. this review aimed to examine the effectiveness of NIBS (i.e., rTMS and tDCS) on cognitive functions in patients with TBI. pub med, SCOPUS, PEDro, CINAHL, MEDLINE, REHABDATA, and web of science were searched from inception to may 2021. the risk of bias in the randomized controlled trials was assessed using the cochrane collaboration's instrument. the physiotherapy evidence database (PEDro) scale was applied to evaluate the risk of bias in the non-randomized controlled trials. ten studies met our inclusion criteria. six studies used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), and four used transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as cognitive rehabilitation interventions. the results showed heterogenous evidence for the effects of rTMS and tDCS on cognitive function outcomes in individuals with TBI. The evidence for the effects of NIBS on cognition following TBI was limited. TDCS and rTMS are safe and well-tolerated interventions post-TBI. the optimal stimulation sites and stimulation parameters remain unknown. combining NIBS with traditional rehabilitation interventions may contribute to greater enhancements in cognitive functions post-TBI.
