DEVICE

Active tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation)

An electrical current of 2mA is delivered to the cathode, positioned bilaterally in the cranial region corresponding to the supplementary motor cortex, with the anode positioned in the deltoid (neutral region), in 30-minute sessions, 5 days a week (Mondays through Fridays) for four consecutive weeks.

DEVICE

Sham tDCS

The cathode is positioned bilaterally in the cranial region corresponding to the supplementary motor cortex, with the anode positioned in the deltoid (neutral region), in a 30-minute session, 5 days a week (Mondays through Fridays) for four consecutive weeks, without delivery of the electric current.
