Effects of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) for executive function on subjects with ADHD: a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder with a high risk of multiple mental health and social difficulties. Executive function domains are associated with distinct ADHD symptom burdens. Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) mainly includes repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which is a promising technique, but its impact on the executive function of ADHD is uncertain. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to derive solid and updated estimates on the effect of NIBS on executive function in children/adults with ADHD.

Methods and analysis

A systematic search will be performed through EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Web of S
