      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The method of randomization that will be used is block-randomization. The unit of randomization is individual participants. The randomization will be stratified according to gender. This means that the randomization process ensures an even distribution of male and female participants between the active tDCS and sham stimulation groups.  
The random sequence will be built in blocks of 8 numbers. Within each block, there will be a random allocation of participants to each of four groups while maintaining the stratification by gender. The randomization will be conducted using Random Allocation software version 2.0 . Allocation concealment (with an concealed envelope) is carried out to hiding the allocation sequence from those involved in enrolling participants and assigning them to different study groups. Only the clinician administering the tDCS will be aware of the randomization.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Transcranial direct stimulation for two weeks every other day with an intensity of 20 mA for 20 minutes in the F4 and F3 areas of the head without any dietary recommendation. Intervention 2: Intervention group: Transcranial direct stimulation for two weeks every other day with an intensity of 20 mA for 20 minutes in the F4 and F3 areas of the head along with calorie-restricted diet (500 kcal less than daily energy requirement calculated using Mifflin St. Joer equation and distribution of carbohydrate, protein, and fat will be 55, 15, and 30 percent of total energy intake). Intervention 3: Intervention group: Sham stimulation of the head along with calorie-restricted diet (500 kcal less than daily energy requirement calculated using Mifflin St. Joer equation and distribution of carbohydrate, protein, and fat will be 55, 15, and 30 percent of total energy intake) for two weeks. Intervention 4: Control group: Sham stimulation of the head for two weeks without any dietary recommendation.</i_freetext>
