      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: The people included in the study are randomly divided into intervention and control groups and we compare the effectiveness of the intervention before and immediately after and one month after the intervention between the two groups, Randomization description: Patients are randomly selected and divided into intervention and control groups by Random Allocation Software. The randomization unit is individual. Randomization was done by statistical software, Blinding description: One group is treated with electrical stimulation of the brain and the other group is treated with sham TDCS as a control. In this way, the location of the electrodes is the same, with the difference that to feel the initial itching, the current is only applied for the first 30 seconds and then it is cut off during the test. The evaluator only had the patient's code and had no knowledge of control or intervention. The data analyst also had the data in two separate groups, but did not know which of the groups were intervention or control.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: The intervention group is treated with electrical stimulation of the brain. The anode of the device is placed at the F3 place on the skull and the cathode is placed at the F4 place on the skull. The number of these treatment sessions is 5 daily and with an intensity of 2 amps, each treatment session lasts 30 minutes. Intervention 2: Control group: The control group of the TDCS device is placed on the skull. The anode of the device is placed at the F3 location on the skull and the cathode at the F4 location on the skull, and the current is applied only for the first 30 seconds, and then it is cut off during the test. The number of these sessions is considered to be 5 daily, each session lasting 30 minutes.</i_freetext>
