Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Cognitive Improvement in Parkinson's Patients
Sponsor: Sanford Health
Summary
The investigators hypothesize that multi-session anodal tDCS (atDCS) of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (LDLPFC) will induce long-lasting effects in improving cognitive function and reducing cognitive fatigue and fatigability in PD patients.

Conditions
Interventions
transcranial direct current stimulation
2milliamps will be administered for 5 consecutive days for a duration of 20 minutes with electrode placement at the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
Sham (for transcranial direct current stimulation)
For 30 seconds the patient will experience a ramp up of the stimulation, after which point no stimulation will be transmitted for the remainder of the session. This will be administered for 5 consecutive days for a duration of 20 minutes with electrode placement at the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
