1. A mouthpiece for providing non-invasive neuromodulation to a patient, the mouthpiece comprising:

  • an elongated housing having an anterior region and a posterior region, the elongated housing having a non-planar interior top surface and internal fins located between the non-planar interior top surface and a bottom surface defined by a perimeter of the elongated housing, the internal fins forming a channel at the anterior region of the elongated housing;

    a spacer attached to the top surface of the housing for minimizing contact between a patient'"'"'s upper teeth and the exterior top surface of the elongated housing;

    a printed circuit board mounted to a bottom portion of the elongated housing, the printed circuit board having a plurality of electrodes for delivering subcutaneous local electrical stimulation to the patient'"'"'s tongue; and

    a cable having a first segment disposed within the housing and a second segment extending from the housing, the cable mounted in an s-shaped pattern along the channel formed by the internal fins, one end of the first segment of the cable connected to the printed circuit board; and

    a right angled grommet mounted to an anterior region of the elongated housing, the grommet surrounding the cable as it exits the channel formed by the internal fins, the grommet forcing the cable to make an approximately ninety degree turn as it exits the elongated housing.
