PCT No. PCT/SE93/00287 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 30, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 30, 1993 PCT Filed Apr. 5, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/23112 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 25, 1993.A device for relieving chronic and acute states of pain as well as itch, for affecting the motor activity of disabled people, or for increasing the flow-through of blood in underlying tissue, includes a shapable electrode plate (1) through which extend a plurality of electrodes (2) fixed in the electrode plate (1) and terminating, at their respective free ends, in electrode tip portions (7) for skin penetration. The electrode tip portion (7) of each electrode (2), at a distance of about 0.1-2.0 mm from the electrode tip (8), is surrounded by stop means (9) separating the electrode plate (1) from the skin portion (10). The electrodes (2) cooperate with a collector electrode (6) of opposite electrical polarity to the electrodes (2), and the electrodes (2) and the collector electrode (6) are electrically connected to a control unit (4) designed to activate the electrodes (2) consecutively, so that when pressure is applied on the electrodes (2), the electrode tip portions (7) will penetrate the isolating outer layers of the epidermis to stimulate the receptors of the skin. |
