Abstract
In accordance with the invention, an ionophoresis current (I) assisting administration is temporarily adjusted to a predetermined value (Im) corresponding to a point on a rectilinear portion (0A) adjoining the origin of the current/voltage characteristics of the skin of the patient, the voltage (Vskin) then present between the two electrodes applying the ionophoresis current to the skin of the patient is measured and the measured cutaneous resistance (Rcut) is obtained from the measured voltage (Vskin) and the predetermined value (Im) of the ionophoresis current.
