ABSTRACT:
A device for stimulating the skin of an individual by an applicator which has a head containing solenoid-operated plungers. The solenoids' windings are duty-cycle operated by associated oscillator/driver circuits to cause their plungers to repeatedly impact the skin with relatively small force impulses so that the skin as distinguished from muscles is affected. By repeated minute stimulation of the skin in the vicinity of pain, a hypnotic type of effect that can alleviate pain symptoms has been found to occur. The solenoids are operated in particular modes which are other than one in which all solenoids are simultaneously energized and de-energized in unison.
