Capacity of vibroacoustic therapy for correction of respiratory manifestations of post COVID-19 syndrome

The search for therapeutic strategies for the correction of post COVID-19 syndrome is an urgent task of medicine. One of the frequent manifestations of post COVID-19 syndrome is the prolonged persistence of respiratory syndromes - dyspnea and cough. Vibroacoustic therapy is promising methods in the complex effect on broncho-pulmonary symptoms of COVID-19.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of vibroacoustic pulmonary therapy implemented through the BARK VibroLUNG apparatus on the clinical and instrumental parameters of patients undergoing COVID-19 with residual respiratory symptoms.

MATHERIAL AND METHODS: The effect of vibroacoustic therapy (5-day course of 2 sessions) on dyspnea and cough and respiratory function in 60 patients aged 18 to 75 years who underwent COVID-19 of varying severity for more than 12 weeks before the start of the study, with the presence of distant respiratory symptoms, was investigated. Patients were divided into two equal and age-matched groups - without (1st) and with (2nd) chronic bronchopulmonary pathology.

RESULTS: Analysis of comorbidity of patients with respiratory phenotype of post COVID-19 syndrome showed frequent presence of concomitant cardiovascular pathology (76.7%). The predominant patient complaint was dyspnea (93.3% in both groups): 29 patients (96.7%) in the non-lung group, and 27 patients (90%) in the chronic lung group. The mean mMRC dyspnea score for all patients was 1.1±0.49 points (1.2±0.5 points in the first group and 1.0±0.45 points in the second group). Cough was observed less often - in 18 patients of both groups (30%), mainly in the second group. During the course of vibroacoustic therapy in the 1st group, the number of patients with dyspnea decreased from 96.7 to 30%, in the 2nd group - from 90 to 10%, the total mean mMRC dyspnea score decreased to 0.2±0.4 (Δ 82%), and a complete regression of cough syndrome was achieved in both groups. Also, an increase in forced expiratory volume in 1st second and peak expiratory flow indicators was revealed both in the general group of patients and in the group of patients without chronic lung pathology.

CONCLUSION: The results obtained during the study of the use of vibroacoustic therapy in patients with respiratory manifestations of post-COVID syndrome, including the presence of chronic bronchopulmonary pathology, allow us to conclude on the effective correction of dyspnea and cough during treatment. Vibroacoustic therapy is a promising non-drug method of exposure to bronchopulmonary manifestations of post-COVID syndrome in patients during rehabilitation.
