结局指标
主要结局
Reduction of dyskinesia
时间窗: 15 days
Change in the total score of part III of the Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (range 0-112, 112 is the worse outcome) in on motor state at the assessment made three days after the end of treatment compared with the assessment made at baseline in the groups of patients treated with tDCS and sham-stimulation, respectively
