Interventions
DEVICE

Transcranial direct current stimulation

tDCS: 20 minutes, 2mA, primary motor cortex anode (contralateral to the lesion) and supraorbital cathode (ipsilateral to the lesion).Technique based on the application of weak, direct electrical current to the brain through relatively large electrodes that are placed over the scalp, in which anodal and cathodal stimulation increases and decreases cortical excitability, respectively.
