Study Objectives: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is caused by a collapse of the upper airway. Respiratory muscle training with a wind instrument (didgeridoo) in patients with moderate OSA has been previously shown to improve OSA symptomology. However, a survey of orchestra members did not indicate a difference in OSA risk between wind and non-wind instrumentalist. The present study examines whether playing of different wind instrument types may affect the risk of OSA. Methods: A national sample of active musicians (n = 906) was surveyed through the internet. Participants' risk for OSA was determined by the Berlin Questionnaire. Additional survey items included questions about general health and musical experience. Results: A binary logistic regression was conducted to determine if OSA risk was predicted by gender, age, number of years playing instrument, number of hours per week playing instrument, and instrument type. Musicians who played a double reed instrument had a lower risk of OSA (p = 0.047) than non-wind instrumentalists. Additionally, in double reed instrumentalists, the number of hours spent playing the instrument predicted lower OSA risk (p = 0.020). The risk for OSA in other wind instruments (i.e., single reed, high brass, and low brass) was not signifi cantly different from non-wind musicians. Conclusions: Playing a double reed musical instrument was associated with a lower risk of OSA.

“…Although a recent study surveyed a large sample of orchestra members failed to fi nd differences in OSA risk between wind musicians and non-wind musicians, 8 there are differences in the physical demands of various instrument types represented in western music. The study design may not have been adequate to fully capture differences if they exist.…”

“…25 A literatura relata, ainda, que há relação entre DS e DTM em membros de orquestras. 27 De modo que a baixa qualidade do sono afeta o indivíduo tanto física quanto psicologicamente, causando desde diminuição na capacidade de desempenhar as atividades do dia a dia até alteração na percepção de dor e desconforto. 28 No entanto, possivelmente devido à amostra ser composta por músicos amadores, não foi encontrada diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos avaliados, fato que sugere que a prática de um instrumento musical não interfere negativamente ou promove o aumento dos sinais e sintomas de DS e DTM.…”

Efeito da prática de instrumentos musicais nas disfunções temporomandibulares e distúrbios do sono

RESUMO | Objetivo:Considerando os inúmeros benefícios a saúde física e mental proporcionados pelas atividades artísticas, o objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a relação entre a prática recreativa de instrumentos musicais e as disfunções temporomandibulares (DTM) e os distúrbios do sono (DS) em uma amostra de músicos integrantes de orquestras do interior de São Paulo que praticam instrumentos musicais como forma de lazer. Método: Trata-se de um estudo transversal constituído por dois grupos. O grupo controle, com indivíduos da comunidade em geral, apresentou idade média de 28,35 anos (±4,867), enquanto o grupo de músicos instrumentistas, 28,37 anos (±6,712). Ambos os grupos foram constituídos por 43 voluntários, sendo 14 mulheres e 29 homens. Os participantes responderam ao questionário anamnésico de Fonseca e ao questionário de Fletcher e Luckett para avaliar sintomas de DTM e distúrbios do sono, respectivamente. Resultados: Foi encontrada uma forte associação entre a presença de DTM e o tempo de prática musical, de modo que os participantes com pouca prática possuem 8,57 (p=0,002) vezes mais chances de apresentarem DTM do que os participantes com muita prática. Os grupos não diferiram quanto aos sintomas de DTM e DS e quanto a variáveis demográficas. Conclusão: A prática recreativa de instrumentos musicais em longo prazo pode diminuir as chances de desenvolvimento de disfunção temporomandibular. Este estudo reforça que tocar um instrumento musical por lazer traz benefícios para a saúde física, especificamente como fator de proteção ao desenvolvimento de disfunção temporomandibular. ABSTRACT | Effect of music instruments practice in temporomandibular joint dysfunction and sleep disorders • Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation among recreational practice of musical instruments, temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), and sleep disturbances in a sample of musicians that are members of orchestras in a southeast area of Brazil. The participants practice playing instruments as a leisure activity. Method: this was a cross-sectional study with two groups. The comparison group included members from the general population. Both group included 43 adults, being 14 women and 29 men. The mean age of comparison group is 28.35 (±4.867), and the mean age of musician group is 28.37 (±6.712). The participants completed self-rated questionnaires to assess TMDs symptoms and sleep disturbance. Results: the groups did not differ regarding the presence of TMDs symptoms, sleep disturbance, and demographic variables. A strong and negative correlation was observed between TMDs and time of playing a musical instrument. The participants with less practice in years in playing a musical instrument have 8.57 more chance of having TMDs than the musicians with a long history of playing an instrument. Conclusion: it seems that a long history of practicing a musical instrument as a leisure activity is associated with a lower chance of developing TMDs. This study reinforces the benefits of playing a musical instrument as a leisur...
