Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Motor Function and Fatigue in PD
The investigators hypothesize that multi-session anodal tDCS (atDCS) of the left primary motor cortex (M1) will induce long-lasting effects in improving motor function and reducing motor fatigue and fatigability in PD patients.
Study identifier: NCT06883266. Status: RECRUITING. Phase: NA.
