The steady increase in life expectancy worldwide has led to a growing proportion of elderly individuals, many of whom suffer from multiple comorbid chronic diseases. Autonomic dysfunction syndrome (ADS) is one of the common conditions observed in elderly patients and significantly affects their quality of life, adaptive capacity, and longevity. Age-related weakening of autonomic regulation plays an important role in the mechanisms of aging and in the development of psycho-physiological maladaptation.

This study explores the potential of bioacoustic correction as a non-pharmacological method for restoring autonomic balance in elderly patients with autonomic dysfunction syndrome. Bioacoustic correction is aimed at influencing neurovegetative regulation through targeted acoustic stimulation, thereby enhancing adaptive mechanisms of the organism. The relevance of this approach is determined by the high prevalence of comorbid pathology in elderly populations and the need for safe, effective, and well-tolerated treatment methods.

The application of bioacoustic correction may contribute to the normalization of autonomic regulation, improvement of adaptive responses, and reduction of functional disorders associated with aging. The method shows promise as a component of comprehensive therapy for autonomic dysfunction syndrome in elderly patients, potentially improving their functional status and quality of life.
