Sham (No Treatment)transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
What this trial is about
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.
