Furthermore, pharmacotherapy carries the risk of important side effects. Noninvasive brain stimulation (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)) are valuable and safe for cognitive function in Alzheimer disease (AD). However, there have been few studies, and there is no consensus, regarding the use of these techniques to treat BPSD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We performed a systematic review of the literature and meta\u2010analysis of studies reporting the effect of rTMS or tDCS on BPSD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Seven articles were included: five randomized, controlled clinical trials and two open\u2010label clinical trials. Five studies investigated the effects of rTMS and two the effects of tDCS. Both studies using tDCS reported no evidence of efficacy on BPSD, while two of the three RCTs using rTMS found statistically significant benefits. In an exploratory meta\u2010analysis with four of the RCT studies, we did not find evidence of efficacy of noninvasive brain stimulation techniques, with an overall effect of \u22120.02 (95% CI\u00a0=\u00a0\u22120.90, 0.94; <jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic><jats:sup><jats:italic>2<\/jats:italic><\/jats:sup>\u00a0=\u00a085%).
