Vibroacoustic Stimulation is the use of low frequency tactile sound vibrations to stimulate body cells into therapeutic states of relaxation and healing. The energy of sound waves is applied directly to the body to produce relaxing physiological and psychological effects. Also called '''Vibroacoustic Therapy (VAT)'''or '''Physioacoustic Therapy'''. <ref>Skille, Olav. "VAS’s unique life element". VIBRAC center, Jyväskylä University, Finland, 2013.</ref> |

Vibroacoustic stimulation is the application of a vibratory sound stimulus to the abdomen of a pregnant woman to induce FHR accelerations. The presence of FHR accelerations reliably predicts the absence of fetal metabolic acidemia. Vibroacoustic stimulation is typically used during a nonstress test (NST).[1][2]
