Interventions
DEVICE

tDCS sham motor cortex

the intervention 25 participants will be subjected to spine surgery then participants will be subjected to sham stimulation targeting left motor cortex area using the transcranial direct current stimulation device for 30 seconds then stop for 20 minutes.

DEVICE

active prefrontal cortex stimulation

the intervention 25 participants will be subjected to spine surgery then participants will be subjected to an active stimulation targeting left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex area using the transcranial direct current stimulation device with a current intensity of 2 mA for 20 min
