Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Motor Function and Fatigue in PD
Recruiting
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) to Improve Motor Function and Motor Fatigue in Parkinson's Patients
Who can join
All ages · All sexes
Full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Clinical diagnosis of PD with at least two of the four diagnostic criteria for PD (tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural instability) * Must be able to consent Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with dementia (MOCA \< 21) * PD treatment using deep brain stimulation (DBS) * Diagnosis of psychosis * Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis * Diagnosis of stroke * Diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) * Diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF)
About the study
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.
