“…[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] Furthermore, dance is a core aspect of societies and cultures globally, hence has great potential as an enjoyable, engaging intervention in respiratory care throughout the world. [34][35][36] Regarding dance for people with CRD, two feasibility studies found dance for CRD interventions to be feasible, 37 38 one also suggested dance may improve functional capacity, balance, anxiety and depression, physical activity and health-related quality of life. 38 However, no studies have assessed…”

ObjectivesTo explore the experiences and perceived impact on health and well-being related to participation in a dance group for people with chronic respiratory disease (CRD).DesignAn exploratory qualitative study using thematic analysis of semistructured interviews.SettingA community dance group in a UK health centre.ParticipantsConvenience sample of long-term dance group participants.InterventionWeekly community dance sessions designed for people with breathlessness, lasting 75 min, led by a trained community dance leader.ResultsConvenience sample of eight participants, six females, aged 57–87 years (mean 75), with a median 2-year attendance at weekly dance sessions. Long-term attendance was driven by strongly held beliefs regarding the health and well-being benefits of participation. Four key themes were identified: dance as (1) a holistically beneficial activity, with physical and psychosocial health benefits including improved or maintained physical fitness and psychological well-being, and reduced need for healthcare; (2) an integral part of their life; (3) an enjoyable activity; and (4) a source of deep social cohesion.ConclusionsDance group participants perceived a broad range of health benefits of relevance to the biopsychosocial impacts of their respiratory disease. The themes identified are useful in the ongoing planning and evaluation of dance as a holistic complex intervention for people with CRD. Further research is required to assess the extent of health impacts identified, and how dance might be most effectively placed as an option in the management of CRD.Trial registration numberNCT04006015.

“…The enjoyment and social connections experienced in dance classes may also play an important role in improving mood and encouraging attendance and completion of the therapy. 53 Therefore, dance effectively improves functional capacity, balance, emotion, anxiety and depression, physical activity and health-related quality of life of both healthy people and those with chronic respiratory disease, 52 , 53 , 55 , 56 whereas music, singing and dancing enhance participation, improve disease management and boost mood and self-confidence, 57 , 58 potentially helping to enhance confidence and reduce psychological symptoms.…”

Background and objective: This study was performed to investigate the effect of expressive art therapy (EAT) on the health status of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: This community-based cluster randomized controlled trial involved patients with COPD from 16 communities in China. Participants received either EAT plus usual care (UC) or UC only. General practitioners were trained in EAT before the intervention. The primary outcomes were depression and anxiety symptoms, measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and expressed as the HADS score for depression or anxiety (HADS-D or HADS-A, respectively). The secondary outcomes were the quality of life and dyspnoea, measured with the COPD assessment test (CAT). Dyspnoea was assessed using the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnoea scale. Lung function was expressed as the forced expiratory volume in 1 s as a percentage of the predicted value [FEV1 (% pred)]. Outcome data were collected from all participants at baseline, 2 and 6 months. Results: In total, 360 participants with COPD and comorbid depression were included in the analysis with the control group of 181 receiving UC only and the intervention group of 179 receiving EAT plus UC. The EAT group showed significantly greater improvement in the HADS-D and HADS-A scores than the UC group at 2 months ( p < 0.0001 and p < 0.001, respectively) and 6 months ( p < 0.001 for both). The CAT and mMRC scores were significantly lower in the EAT group than in the UC group at 2 and 6 months ( p < 0.001 for all). The FEV1 (% pred) was significantly higher in the EAT group than in the UC group at 6 months ( p < 0.01). Conclusion: General practitioners can deliver EAT interventions. EAT can effectively reduce anxiety and depression symptoms and dyspnoea, improve quality of life and improve the pulmonary function of patients with COPD.

“…Philip et al were very active in developing and delivering a pulmonary rehabilitation program, as part of the Fresh Air Project, in Kyrgyzstan Republic, Uganda, Vietnam, and Greece. Since singing, music, and dance are major components of Kyrgyz culture, there was a ubiquitous view that such an addition would be welcome as a feasible add-on to the formal program 38 . This can be practiced at other spots of the globe.…”

Musical engagement therapy: An effective add-on in the management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a progressive degenerative multi-component disorder, is a life-threatening global epidemic, killing on average one person every 10 s. Distressing dyspnea, exhausting leg fatigue, exaggerated self-perception of ill-being, progressing home bounding, and associated stress with resultant anxiety and depression lead to significantly higher exacerbations and increased hospitalization with prolonged length of stay. Music therapy (MT) (singing and listening), an inexpensive and readily accessible resource, has emerged as a promising interventional strategy with acceptance on a wider scale because of its unique link to emotions and soothing power. Singing is well known to increase respiratory muscle strength, sense of breath control, and arterial oxygen saturation level. In otherwise dyspneic patients, the regular singing exercises help improve breathing coordination and better mood, alleviate anxiety, and improve health-related quality of life. Exercise is the most important tool in slowing COPD progression, but the lack of adherence is the common barrier. The physically stimulating and emotionally inspiring music immerses the individual deeply into the physical activity to the extent that he/she would be saved from boredom and excessive fatigue. The resultant ergogenic effect delays fatigue, increases work capacity, endurance, and productivity. Motivational MT and prescribed graded exercise, in addition to specific therapeutic interventions, could significantly slow down the progression of the disease, which is otherwise incurable.
