Summary
Depression is common in Parkinson's disease (PD), but the effective treatment is not established yet. tDCS is a non-invasive brain stimulation to modulate brain function. The tDCS on the depression in general population were already conducted, but not in PD. This study is to know whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is effective for the treatment of depression in PD. Participant will be asked to visit three consecutive days for the non-invasive stimulation.
