Suitable patients are assigned randomly to 3 groups respectively. Group 1 is the combined transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and neurofeedback group. Group 2 is the neurofeedback group. Group 3 is the control group with sham neurofeedback training.
Treatment sessions for all three groups are conducted by the investigators who has training in neurofeedback and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCs). Each participant performed 10 training sessions on different days. Sessions were conducted 3-5 times a week The tDCS + neurofeedback group will carry out 30 minutes tDCS and 30 minutes neurofeedback training.
The real neurofeedback group will carry out 30 minutes neurofeedback training. The sham neurofeedback group will conduct the 30 minutes sham neurofeedback training.
