Primary outcomePrimary: Change From Unified Parkinson´s Disease Rating Scale - UPDRS — 24; 30; 21.2; 21.8 units on a scale
Summary
The present study aims to investigate the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) associated with physiotherapy in parkinson´s rehabilitation. Previous studies showed that tDCS could reduce the bradykinesia, one of the symptom of Parkinson disease. In this way, this study will combine tDCS with physiotherapy in order to enhance the motor rehabilitation and the quality of life.
