An electrical stimulation device and method of locating an electrical stimulation point of a human or animal. The device comprises a matrix of electrodes distributed on an electrode pad configured to be applied on a human or animal body and arranged for covering a plurality of the stimulation points of the human or animal. An electronic circuit is connected to the matrix of electrodes and configured for applying an electrical stimulation signal to the electrodes. A feedback signal, in response to an electrical stimulation signal, may be used in assessing the suitability of electrodes as an electrical stimulation point.

Electrical stimulation device for locating an electrical stimulation point and method

A device and method for applying transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation via an electrode. The device includes the electrode being arranged for detecting a change of a skin impedance and being configured for switching from a stimulation mode of operation for stimulating the nerve, into a recalibration mode of operation upon detection of the changed skin impedance. The device may include a plurality of electrodes being configured for detecting the change of the skin impedance and being configured for adjusting an electrical current flowing through the skin via the plurality of electrodes.

Method and system for dynamic recalibration of tens stimulation points to compensate for changing electrode conditions with fail-safe and auto-recovery functionality
