Participants will be divided into 03 groups: G1: anodic tDCS - participants who will receive real current over the primary motor area; G2: dualsite tDCS - participants who will receive real current over the primary motor area and over the dorsolateral prefrontal area (DLPFC) and G3: simulated tDCS - participants who will receive simulated stimulation. Participants will be entered into the study through the eligibility criteria and will be randomly allocated, with block exchange at a rate of 1:1:1.
In each phase of the study, participants will receive 10 tDCS sessions, for 20 minutes, on alternate days (3 times a week, excluding weekends). The TCT-Research neurostimulator will be used for stimulation. The electrodes will be positioned according to the 10-20 international electroencephalogram classification system. Electrodes wrapped in sponges, moistened with saline solution (0.9% NaCl) will be used. The applied current will be 2mA (5x5 cm active electrodes; 25 cm2; current density of 0.08 mA/cm2).
For group 1 (anodic tDCS) the anodic electrode (5x5 cm) will be applied to the primary motor area (C3/C4) ipsilateral to the lesion and the reference electrode (6x9 cm) to the deltoid muscle region. In group 2 (dualsite tDCS) two active electrodes (5x5 cm) will be used, which will be positioned over the primary motor area (C3/C4) and over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (F3 or F4) in the ipsilateral hemisphere. For this stimulation modality, two active electrodes (anodic) and a reference electrode (6x9 cm) will be used on the deltoid muscle region.
For group 3 (simulated tDCS) the positioning of the electrodes will be the same as for group 1, however the device will be configured in sham mode in which the current will cease 30 seconds after the start of stimulation, in this way the effects of active stimulation will be simulated and the participants will perceive the sensations typically felt, but without the induction of clinical effects (Nitsche & Paulus, 2000). At the end of each session, participants will be asked to report any unpleasant effects and asked about possible adverse effects. In addition, all participants will be blind to the type of stimulation they will receive.

Aktív összehasonlító: Group 1 - anodal tDCS
Participants will receive 10 tDCS sessions, for 20 minutes, on days alternate (3 times a week). The neurostimulator TCT-Research will be used for stimulation. The electrodes will be positioned according to the international classification system of the electroencephalogram 10/20. For group 1 (anodic tDCS) the anodic electrode (5x5 cm) will be applied to the primary motor area (C3/C4) ipsilateral to the lesion and the reference electrode (6x9 cm) to the deltoid muscle region. Simultaneously with the tDCS sessions, participants will be submitted to a physical therapy protocol based on motor and cognitive dual-task training. Each task will have a duration of 3 minutes, followed by a rest period of 30s. |
