The needle disclosed has a pricking part (2) and a holding part (3). The pricking part (2) is a single or multiple-thread screw whose pitch (6) is greater than twice the diameter (7) of the thickest part of the pricking part (2). The holding part (3) is preferably a ring or small disk whose side facing the pricking part (2) lies in a plane approximately perpendicular to the geometrical axis of the pricking part. The device disclosed has a portable battery-operated therapeutic current generator (17) to which at least one electrode (23, 24) in the form of said needle is connected via a flexible lead (21, 22). This needle has a pricking part (2) less than 4 mm long and a holding part (3) in the form of a ring or small disk. A surface electrode (29) can be provided on the housing of the therapeutic current generator (17).
