DEVICE

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

For electrode placement, the criteria used by the 10/20 electroencephalography system will be obeyed and the electrodes will be positioned area C3 for the anode and Fp2 (contralateral supraorbital area) for the cathode electrode. A constant current of 2mA will be applied for 20 minutes.

DEVICE

Sham Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

For electrode placement, the criteria used by the 10/20 electroencephalography system will be obeyed and the electrodes will be positioned area C3 for the anode and Fp2 (contralateral supraorbital area) for the cathode electrode, but the stimulator was turned off after 30 seconds of stimulation. Therefore, patients in the sham group felt the initial itching sensation but received no current for the rest of the stimulation period.
