A finger-pressure substitutive stimulator comprises a supple, net-like sheet member having many stripe-like projections on one surface thereof and formed of various hard or semi-hard synthetic resin materials. The finger-pressure substitutive stimulator is fixed to the surface of the skin of a human body at a part to be treated using an appropriate fixing means-e.g., commercially available adhesive tapes, bandages, and supporters-or an adhesive sheet fastened to the smooth rear surface of the sheet member; it serves to ease or remove pain by correcting such ailments as rheumatism, neuralgia, shoulder stiffness, lumbago, and visceral disorders. The stripe-like projections pressed against the skin surface provide uniform, sustained stimulation to the peripheral nerves in the human body surface layer over the entire wide region to which the stimulator is attached and effectively correct disorders and abnormalities of the human body, thereby removing or easing pains. Due to the net-like structure and suppleness of the sheet member, one or a small number of stimulators can provide effective and sufficient stimulation to a wider region than conventional stimulators while easily conforming to a curved shape of a part to be treated and ensuring air permeability to the skin surface.
