Abstract
A method for treatment by vibration stimulation of body tissue in a body cavity of a human subject includes providing a stimulation member comprising a dielectric polymer; introducing the stimulation member into a body cavity; expanding the stimulation member to a state such that it abuts the body tissue within the body cavity, and applying a time varying potential to said dielectric polymer to impart vibrations to body tissue in the body cavity.
