Uterus muscle controller

摘要

A method and apparatus for controlling uterine contractions in a female is disclosed. The method comprises: providing at least one of a plurality of sensors adapted to sense uterine contractions; providing an electric signal generator; providing a control unit adapted to receive the signal from said at least one of a plurality of sensors and actuate said signal generator to generate a non-excitatory electric signal in a predetermined timing and duration with respect to a sensed uterine contraction; providing electric signal delivery means for the delivery of electric signal from the electric signal generator to at least one of a plurality of predetermined locations on the uterus; sensing a uterine contraction using said at least one of a plurality of sensors; and applying non-excitatory electric field at said at least one of a plurality of predetermined locations on the uterus in predetermined timing and duration with respect to the sensed uterine contraction.
