A device and a method for relieving chronic and acute states of pain as well as itch, for affecting the motoractivity of dis- abled people; or for increasing the flow-through of blood in underlying tissue are dislosed. the device comprises a shapable elec- trode plate (1) through which extend a plurality of electrodes (2) fixed in the electrode plate (1) and terminating, at their respec- tive free ends, in an electrode tip portion (7) for skin penetration, (a) the electrode tip portion (7) of each electrode (2) being surrounded, at a distance of about 0.l-2.0 mm from the electrode tip (8), by a stop means (9) which separates the electrode plate (1) from the skin portion (10), (b) the electrodes (2) cooperating with a collector electrode (6) of opposite electrical polarity to the electrodes (2), and (c) the electrodes (2) and the collector electrode (6) being 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 in order to stimulate the receptors of the skin. The use of the device is also disclosed.
