Here are some extracts from the history and the situation today:

• Vibroacoustic treatment was first introduced in 1980 by Norwegian teacher, Olav Skille. He found change in behavior of severely disabled children when they were leaning against a beanbag, which was transmitting sound waves. Behavioral changes were observed when surface of beanbag was in contact with large speakers, while disabled children were in contact with beanbag on opposite surface. Olav Skille, Karel, Jindrak and Wigram had done extensive research in vibroacoustic therapy since 1980. Most of their work indicates Vibroacoustic Therapy was effective in treating several illnesses such as asthma, autism, cystic fibrosis, cerebral palsy, constipation, insomnia, pain and Parkinson’s disease.Scientific research data of Drs. Karel and Heda Jindrak⁵postulate physical vibrations of sound results in internal cleansing massage. Vibroacoustic Therapy may help to eliminate cellular wastes and assist in cleansing the body from harmful toxins.
• Kris Chesky, Director of Education and Research of the Texas Center for Music and Medicine at the University of North Texas, has done extensive work on influence of Vibroacoustic Therapy to relieve chronic pain in patients suffering with arthritis and fibromyalgia. Kris Chesky has conducted several research program to analyze vibroacoustic therapy triggering the pain-mediating mechanism.
• Professor Lundeberg, T. affiliated with Department of Physiology, University of Göteborg, Sweden had published several papers suggesting effects of Vibroacoustic Therapy in treating chronic pain. Tony Wigram, a well-known music therapist from London had written several articles and chapters in books regarding his work and observations between 1990 and 1998. He has written extensively regarding Vibroacoustic Therapy as a treatment for anxiety, spasticity and Rett syndrome.
• Lee Bartel, a Canadian professor of music therapy who has conducted numerous studies on the use of vibroacoustic therapy for various conditions such as fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke recovery.
• Wigram developed the practice of Vibroacoustic Therapy in Britain at Harperbury Hospital in Hertfordshire.

Vibroacoustic therapy is a type of therapy that uses sound vibrations to stimulate the body’s cells and tissues. While there is some evidence to suggest that this therapy may have beneficial effects for certain conditions, more research is needed to fully understand its efficacy.

There have been several studies that have investigated the use of vibroacoustic therapy for various health conditions, including pain management, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. Some of these studies have reported positive results, such as reduced pain and improved sleep quality.

However, the quality of the evidence is generally considered to be low or moderate, and more well-designed studies are needed to confirm these findings. Additionally, the specific mechanisms by which vibroacoustic therapy may work are not yet fully understood.

Overall, while there is some scientific evidence to suggest that vibroacoustic therapy may be effective for certain conditions, more research is needed before it can be considered a mainstream therapy. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before trying any new therapies, including vibroacoustic therapy.
