All participants completed a 7-day baseline monitoring period using a smart band. Participants received ten sessions of bilateral tDCS targeting the DLPFC (anode F3, cathode F4) at 2 mA for 30 min, three times a week. Clinical assessments and smart band monitoring were repeated during the final week of treatment. Pre-post changes and correlations were analyzed while controlling for potential confounders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0924270826100829_as3\">\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Following tDCS, it was significant improvements in K-MADRS, STAI, AS, UPDRS part III, and PDQ-39. Smart device data showed a significant increase in daily step counts after treatment, while changes in physical activity time and sleep duration were not significant. Changes in step count were strongly correlated with improvements in apathy, and this relationship remained significant after confounding variables (rho = \u20130.76,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S0924270826100829_as4\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Bilateral DLPFC tDCS significantly improved mood and motor function in patients with PD.
