      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: In the present research, randomization will be block, and the randomization unit will be cluster. First, random assignment of patients (30 individuals) to 3 groups (first 10 patients for group A, then 10 patients for group B, and finally 10 patients for group C), is performed using the command to generate integer random numbers (INT = (RAND) * 30) the rand function of Excel software. After random assignment of patients to 3 groups, in the next step, random assignment of intervention type to three groups A, B, and C will be performed. Groups (intervention group 1; primary motor cortex stimulation (M1), intervention group 2; primary motor cortex stimulation (M1) and the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (F3), control group; placebo) will be written on three pieces of paper and will be folded, then, by randomly selecting the first paper from the three papers, the type of intervention of group A will be determined by selecting the second paper from the remaining two papers, the type of intervention of group B will be determined and the remaining third paper will determine the type of intervention for group C, Blinding description: This research is done double blindly. Because the device will be in the postdoctoral researcher's room (Roghayeh Mohammadi) and only she will be aware of the type of intervention for each person. In this study, in fact, diabetic patients in all three groups, clinical caregivers (nurse and the researcher's assistant psychologist who will be out of the room), and outcome assessors (both at the association and in the blood test laboratory), will not know the type of intervention assigned to each of the 3 groups.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Neuropathic pain in diabetes.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group 1: Primary motor cortical anodic tDCS group of the brain (M1); the group receives 12 sessions, 3 days a week; each session will last 40 minutes (20 minutes left M1 stimulation and 20 minutes right M1 stimulation) in that patients will receive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for the M1 region with 2 mA electrical current. Intervention 2: Intervention group 2: Primary motor cortical anodic tDCS group of the brain (M1) and the anodic tDCS of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (F3); this group receives 12 sessions, 3 days a week. Therr will be 20 minutes of M1 anodic tDCS (10 minutes left M1 stimulation and 10 minutes of right M1 stimulation) and 20 minutes of F3 region anodic tDCS (left DLPFC) with 2 mA electrical current in each session. Intervention 3: Control group: placebo; for this group, the tDCS device, equipped with the default settings for sham stimulation, will provide real stimulation for 20 seconds, then despite remaining of the anode pad on M1 region for 20 minutes and F3 region for 20 minutes, the real stimulation will not happen for these regions.</i_freetext>
