Bioacoustic Sound Therapy research investigates a phenomenon within its real-life context and follows a framework of predetermined protocols which provide a systematized way of looking at events, collecting data, analyzing information, and reporting the results. Exploratory case studies, fieldwork, and data collection are used in Bioacoustic Sound Therapy as a prelude to defining research questions and hypotheses. As Sharry Edwards, Director of Sound Health Research Institute, puts it, “we’re just looking to see what we can find.”
According to scientific theory, no therapeutic effects can be claimed for Bioacoustic Sound Therapy due to the lack of large randomized controlled trials (RCT). It appears that an important strength of bioacoustics sound therapy is its ability to address very specific individual complexities and does not easily lend itself to the generalities of broad syndromes. This strength also makes it more difficult to discern the probability that effects are due to intervention, placebo or random variation. Therefore, even when RCT are conducted in the future, it’s possible that no significant statistical results will be obtained concerning general disease syndromes even as individual disease conditions improve.
Conducting formal randomized control studies on the effectiveness of bioacoustics therapy sound healing has yet to be done. As such, no claims have been made about its effectiveness. However, results from numerous individual case studies have been notable and impressive indicating that further investigation into the relationship between the human voice, frequency, and health is warranted.
Some of the concepts associated with bioacoustics therapy sound healing go beyond a common understanding of physiology to include the idea that energy, frequency, and matter may be related in ways that we are not currently aware of. Although this may be a target for critics, it can also be seen as an exciting opportunity to explore new levels of the human experience.
