Sample size
Target sample size: 17
More than 1 sample in each individual
Number of samples in each individual: 3
Each participant will participate in three modes of sham electrical stimulation, cerebellar electrical stimulation and pre-motor electrical stimulation at one-week intervals in the form of intra-subject comparisons.
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In order to randomize, simple randomization method with random number Table method was used . This table contains a bunch of numbers that are randomly drawn in the form of a table without a specific pattern and order. The numbers directions(Left, right, up, down) were first determined by the researcher to read the numbers and then the numbers were considered for different research groups. In the next step, the researcher randomly placed on one of the numbers and moved in the preset direction and recorded the numbers for that direction in the target group.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In order to eliminate the bias caused by the knowledge of the subject and the evaluator, the results of the muscle electromyography device and the research result of the study on the effect of electrical stimulation of the pre-motor areas and the cerebellum are performed in Double blind. Considering that the recorded frequencies of the muscle electromyography device are interpreted after the measurement and it is not possible to observe the variable during the test, the subject and the evaluator are not aware of the effect of the interfering factor on the muscle electromyography. Normally, Subject only performs his muscle contraction according to the plan and the information is stored in his body by installing the device, and it is in the analysis stage that the researcher himself will have access to the recorded information.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Control group: Sham stimulation of the cerebellum and motor areas of the brain. In Sham stimulation of the premotor and cerebellum, there will be anodic stimulation in the left and right prefrontal cortex and left and right cerebellar cortex and cathodic stimulation in FP1 and FP2. For electrical stimulation, pads with dimensions of 5 × 7 will be used. Also, the stimulation intensity will be set 2 mA for 20 minutes, But it will turn off automatically after 10 seconds.
Category
Placebo

2

Description
Intervention group: Real stimulation of the cerebellum areas of the brain.In real cerebellar stimulation, the anodic stimulation in the cortical region is left and right cerebellum and the cathodic stimulation will be in FP1 and FP2. For electrical stimulation, pads with dimensions of 5 × 7 will be used. Also, the stimulation intensity will be 2 mA for 20 minutes.
Category
Diagnosis

3

Description
Intervention group: Real stimulation of the pre motor areas of the brain. In real stimulation of the pre motor areas , anodic stimulation will be located in the left and right pre motor cortex and cathodic stimulation will be located in FP1 and FP2. For electrical stimulation, pads with dimensions of 5 × 7 will be used. Also, the stimulation intensity will be 2 mA for 20 minutes.
