Abstract

The current systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the reliability and efficacy of prefrontal theta burst stimulation (TBS) protocols on executive functions. Results revealed a reliable effect of continuous TBS on executive function task performance (g=-.244, p<.001). Although, the reliability of intermittent TBS studies varied, most were in the theorised direction.
