Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Motor Function and Fatigue in PD

Description

The investigators hypothesize that multi-session anodal tDCS (atDCS) of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (LDLPFC) will induce long-lasting effects in improving motor function and reducing motor fatigue and fatigability in PD patients.
