This study is a clinical trial, and may also be referred to as a "before and after" study, in which all subjects receive the same treatment and their condition is checked before initiation and after various times of treatment. This study will be carried out at the Laboratory of Physiotherapy in Cardiorespiratory Research, located in the building of the postgraduate course in physiotherapy at the Health Sciences Center (CCS) of the Federal University of Parahyba (UFPB), from May 2023 to May 2020. 2024. After screening, patients will undergo assessment and anthropometric measurements. Subsequently, interventions will be carried out
The patients will perform three sessions of HD-TDCS (stimulation, inhibition and Shan) of twenty minutes with an intensity of three milliamps in the left temporal cortex. Before and after each session, patients will perform the six-minute walk test. Heart rate variability (HRV) will be evaluated throughout the protocol through Holter (3-channel). At the end, the perception of exertion and the level of dyspnea of the patient, distance covered and blood pressure will be evaluated.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| HD- TDCS (inhibition) | Experimental | Patients will perform a session (inhibition) of HD-TDCS of twenty minutes with intensity of 3 milliamps in the left temporal cortex. Before and after each session, patients will perform the six-minute walk test. Heart rate variability (HRV) will be evaluated throughout the protocol through Holter (3-channel). At the end, the perception of exertion and the level of dyspnea of the patient, distance covered and blood pressure will be evaluated. |

| HD- TDCS (shan) | Experimental | Patients will perform a twenty-minute session (SHAN) of HD-TDCS with an intensity of 3 milliamps in the left temporal cortex. Before and after each session, patients will perform the six-minute walk test. Heart rate variability (HRV) will be evaluated throughout the protocol through Holter (3-channel). At the end, the perception of exertion and the level of dyspnea of the patient, distance covered and blood pressure will be evaluated. |

| high definition transcranial direct current stimulation | Device | Transcranial direct current stimulation, in recent decades, has been identified as a non-invasive tool for transiently modulating human brain activity. The technique consists of the application of a low-intensity continuous electric current, through electrodes applied to the scalp, acting in a regulatory way on the frequency of triggered action potentials, however, without interacting directly with the neurons. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Travelled distance | To analyze the distance walked by these patients after the six-minute walk test after the application of HD-Tdcs | day one |
| heart rate variability | To evaluate the effects of HD-TDCS on the left temporal lobe - T3 on heart rate variability during the six-minute walk test in patients with heart failure | day one |
