Previous studies indicated inconsistent results for the treatment effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on attention and memory impairment following stroke. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on TMS for the treatment of stroke were retrieved from Online databases. Data were analyzed by RevMan 5.3 software. Ten RCTs performed in China were included, with a total of 591 younger post-stroke patients ranging in age from their 40s to their 60s. The meta-analysis indicated that TMS could significantly improve the recovery of cognitive impairment following a stroke, according to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score (8 studies, MD = 2.69, 95% CI: 1.44 to 3.95, P &lt; 0.0001), the Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test (RBMT) score (7 studies, MD = 1.74, 95% CI:1.13 to 2.34, P &lt; 0.00001), and the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) for Activities of Daily Living (3 studies, MD = 8.83, 95% CI:5.34 to 12.32, P &lt; 0.00001). Sub-group analysis of MoCA and RBMT suggested that a low-frequency (1 Hz) stimulation exhibited similar effect with a higher-frequency (10 Hz) treatment. TMS might effectively improve the attention and memory impairment of stroke patients without increasing side effects. But this effect needs to be verified by more multi-center, high-quality, large-sample, rigorously designed RCTs.
