Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Motor Function and Fatigue in PD
Sponsor: Sanford Health
Summary
The investigators hypothesize that multi-session anodal tDCS (atDCS) of the left primary motor cortex (M1) will induce long-lasting effects in improving motor function and reducing motor fatigue and fatigability in PD patients.

Conditions
Interventions
transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
2 mA will be administered for 5 consecutive days for a duration of 20 minutes with electrode placement at the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
Sham (No Treatment)
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
