Recruiting now · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Parkinsons Disease (PD)

In brief

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.
