Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to treatment of a migraine headache or other nervous system malady such as seizures and epilepsy by applying electrical stimulation to a subject's oral mucosa. Noninvasive electrodes may be placed against the subject's oral mucosa tissue by inserting a mouthpiece comprising the electrodes into the subject's mouth. One or more electrical pulses may be applied to the electrodes to stimulate the subject's cranial nerves and thereby treat the malady.

Abstract: The invention is a removable plastic oral appliance which includes sensors for detecting the position of a patient's tongue and mandible. Pressure sensors in the appliance itself detect tongue contact and pressure against the palate or the lower teeth against the upper teeth. The sensors are connected electronically to an electronic processor which interprets the information against one or more contra-indicated tongue or jaw positions or activities, and selects an appropriate response from a pre-selected range of responses. The electronic processor sends a signal to a stimulus electrode to cause the patient to stop the contraindicated tongue position, jaw position, or activity.
