Study Arms (2)

Sham Anodal Cefaly tDCS

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

2 mA placebo anodal tDCS (the direct current is delivered just for 30 seconds) is applied over the visual cortex for 20 minutes, everyday for 2 months, in 15 patients

Device: sham Cefaly tDCS

Anodal Cefaly tDCS

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

2 mA anodal tDCS is delivered over the visual cortex, for 20 minutes, everyday for 2 months, in 15 patients.

Device: Cefaly tDCS

Interventions

Cefaly tDCSDevice

Cefaly tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) is able to modify cortical excitability, in particular anodal tDCS increases it. The side effects of tDCS are minor, especially sensations of itching and scalp paresthesias.
