Tesla also applied his resonance engines in bizarre forms of physical
therapy. He created machines that flooded the human body with
electrical currents and strong vibrations, intended to soothe aches
and promote healing. And Tesla wasn't just the inventor of the
"electrotherapeutic" device -- he was also a client. He reportedly
became somewhat addicted to administering the treatment to himself,
insisting that a session with the machine rejuvenated him on his long
stretches of work without food or sleep. Tesla once let his friend
Samuel Clemens try out the healing machine. The author is said to have
enjoyed the experience tremendously -- until the vibrations brought
him a case of spontaneous diarrhea. Tesla marketed this invention, and
the Tesla Electrotherapeutic Company was one of the few commercial
enterprises of his old age that was marginally successful.

dAvid Bowie played him as well recently in the Prestige

There's also a really good award winning play about Tesla by Jeff Stanley
