Study summary

A medical professional trained in the procedure and use of the device will conduct the vibroacoustic therapy session. He will also take blood samples.

In the control group, patients will undergo vibroacoustic pulmonary therapy in the "Pneumonia" mode, and in the control group, in the "Prevention" mode. Vibroacoustic pulmonary therapy will be conducted over a period of 5 days. A similar algorithm of actions is planned for both groups. VALT sessions will be conducted 4-6 times a day for 5 minutes in combination with treatment according to the protocol for the use of "Vibroacoustic Therapy" of the lungs of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The device's emitters will be applied to the affected areas of the lungs. Since the device has long cords for the emitters and is portable, it is not difficult to change the patient's position and does not require their active participation, which is important for patients on ventilators and with limited mobility.

Interventions

  • DeviceVibrolung

    BARK VibroLUNG vibroacoustic device (No. RK-MT-7No.013611 dated October 7, 2014). The device is designed for the treatment and prevention of respiratory diseases. The device operates on the principle of exposure to a powerful vibroacoustic signal generated by special emitters. During the procedure, the emitters are pressed against the surface of the chest, and the procedure lasts an average of 5 minutes. The frequency of the signal constantly changes and has complex modulation, which ensures maximum effectiveness. Depending on the selected program, the signal can cause the effect of percussion, soft vibration, smooth alternation of acoustic signal and vibration, or combinations thereof.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Arterial blood gases

    On day 1 of vibroacoustic therapy, arterial blood sampling will be performed to determine PaO2 (mmHg), PaC02 (mmHg), as well as for dynamics during transfer to the specialized department.

    Time frame: Day 1

Secondary outcomes

  1. Chest X-ray

    Chest X-ray at admission and after vibroacoustic therapy sessions at least twice in total, with technical capabilities(The X-ray image)

    Time frame: Day 1

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 8, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
