Claim 7:
8. A transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) system for providing treatment or therapy for movement disorders, mental health disorders, sleep disorders, and/or other disorders of a subject, the system comprising:
at least two surface scalp electrodes including at least one electrode for providing at least one low dose direct electrical current to the subject and at least one electrode for return of the at least one low dose direct electrical current, the at least two surface scalp electrodes adapted to be worn by or attached to the subject during sleep, and adapted to be positioned such that at least one low-dose direct electrical current provided is directed to stimulate at least one desired location or area of the subject's brain;
a current generation device adapted to provide the at least one low dose direct electrical current via the at least one surface scalp electrode for providing a low dose direct electrical current across the subject's cranium to stimulate the at least one desired location or area of the subject's brain at a pre-determined duty-cycle during at least one stage of sleep corresponding to slow brain waves,
wherein the at least two surface scalp electrodes are adapted to be positioned such that the desired at least one location or area of the subject's brain stimulated by the low dose anodal direct electrical current corresponds to at least one disorder and/or at least one symptom of a movement disorder, mental health disorder, sleep disorder, and/or at least one additional disorder selected from the group consisting of tinnitus, fibromyalgia, speech difficulty or impediment, memory, and cognitive disorder or issue.
