Abstract:
1. An apparatus to provide a non-transcranial electrical stimulus to a biological subject, the apparatus comprising: a support structure sized and dimensioned to be worn on a portion of a head of the biological subject; at least one waveform generator, the at least one waveform generator configured to generate an electrical waveform; for a saggital first side of the head, only a single pair of electrodes consisting of a first electrode and a second electrode, the first and the second electrodes electrically coupled to the at least one waveform generator and carried by the support structure in a spaced apart relation so that when the support structure is worn on the portion of the head the first electrode is positioned on a point proximate and externally anterior of a first ear of the biological subject on the sagittal first side of the head and the second electrode is positioned on a point on the sagittal first side of the head with the first electrode sufficiently spaced apart from the second electrode so as to capacitively deliver a first non-transcranial therapeutic electric stimulus operable to at least partially flow through a first temporomandibular joint within the biological subject in response to a generated electrical waveform from the at least one waveform generator.
