Conditions
Interventions
Active Comparator: Unilateral real High definition transcranial direct current stimulation
Improvement of cortical excitability, unilateral stimulation was effective, and no side effects were observed
Active Comparator: Bilateral real High definition transcranial direct current stimulation
Improved cortical excitability, the effect was more obvious than unilateral stimulation, the effect lasted longer, and no side effects were observed
Sham Comparator: Sham High definition transcranial direct current stimulation
The sham stimulation is mainly used for blank control, control variables, and exclude the interference of other factors
