Antecedents: L'estudi present va avaluar l'impacte de la estimulació magnètica transcranial de baixa intensitat (Li-TMS) en el rendiment cognitiu dels estudiants universitaris. Donat l'interès creixent en les tècniques de estimulació cerebral no invasiva per millorar les funcions cognitives, aquest estudi té com a objectiu explorar l'eficàcia de la Li-TMS utilitzant la Prova de Substitució de Símbols i Dígits (DSST) com a mesura del rendiment cognitiu. Mètodes: La mostra incloïa 30 participants, que es van dividir aleatòriament en dos grups: un grup experimental i un grup de control. El grup experimental va rebre sessions diàries de Li-TMS durant 10 dies. En canvi, el grup de control va rebre sessions simulades de baixa intensitat sota el mateix protocol temporal per controlar els efectes placebo. La DSST es va administrar a tots els participants abans i després de la intervenció per avaluar els canvis en el rendiment cognitiu. Resultats: Els resultats van demostrar una millora significativa en les puntuacions de la DSST en el grup experimental en comparació amb el grup de control. Aquesta troballa suggereix que la Li-TMS pot millorar de manera efectiva habilitats cognitives específiques en una població jove i sana. Conclusió: La Li-TMS sembla ser una eina prometedora per a la millora cognitiva, amb aplicacions potencials en contextos educatius i professionals. Aquests resultats donen suport a la utilitat de la Li-TMS com a intervenció d'entrenament cognitiu, oferint un mètode no invasiu per millorar les funcions cognitives en adults joves. Es necessita més recerca per explorar els efectes a llarg termini i els mecanismes subjacents de la Li-TMS en el rendiment cognitiu.
