Systematic review: risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders in musicians

Abstract

Because of lack of prospective studies, no causal relations could be identified in the aetiology of (playing-related) musculoskeletal disorders in instrumental musicians.

Musculoskeletal disorders and complaints in professional musicians: a systematic review of prevalence, risk factors, and clinical treatment effects

“…This differs from our conclusion, since we could not identify studies that searched for risk factors using an appropriate study design. More recent systematic reviews also found methodological concerns (Baadjou et al 2016;Jacukowicz 2016;Kok et al 2016;Vervainioti and Alexopoulos 2015). In contrast to our review, the authors reported results from the subjects of each study.…”

“…Comparing our results to the literature we found seven systematic reviews about MCD in adult professional musicians (Zaza 1998;Bragge et al 2006;Wu 2007;Baadjou et al 2016;Jacukowicz 2016;Kok et al 2016;Vervainioti and Alexopoulos 2015). The presented review is the first attempt to investigate the frequencies, risk factors and treatment options for MCD in musicians.…”

“…In contrast to our review, the authors reported results from the subjects of each study. Baadjou et al reported that previous musculoskeletal injuries, music performance anxiety, high levels of stress and being a female who plays a stringed instrument seem to be associated with more MCD (Baadjou et al 2016). Kok et al found a point prevalence of MCD in professional musicians ranging between 9 and 68%, a 12-month prevalence between 41 and 93% and a lifetime prevalence between 62 and 93%.…”

“…Hand searches were performed as follows: the scientific journal Medical Problems of Performing Artists (MPPA, until volume 24, issue 4 December 2009, after in MED-LINE) between February 13th and 27th, 2015 and actualized on December 7th, 2017 as well as the German journal Fachzeitschrift Musikphysiologie und Musikermedizin (FMM, years 1994(FMM, years -1999 were excluded, because online access was not available), the official scientific publication of the German Association for Music Physiology and Musicians' Medicine (DGfMM), between February 28th and March 8th 2015 and actualized on December 7th, 2017. Reference lists of seven identified systematic reviews (Zaza 1998;Bragge et al 2006;Wu 2007;Baadjou et al 2016;Jacukowicz 2016;Kok et al 2016;Vervainioti and Alexopoulos 2015) were searched for further studies. The search strategy followed three guidelines: the study population, investigated MCD and study design.…”

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

“…O resultado pode ser explicado pela capacidade da música de controlar o estresse e promover experiên-cias de recompensa, prazer e inserção social. [14][15][16] O aumento da tensão muscular decorrente da ansiedade e estresse pode promover o desenvolvimento de DTM, [17][18][19] visto que estudos comprovam que indivíduos com níveis elevados de ansiedade e depressão possuem maior risco de desenvolverem DTM em comparação a indivíduos com níveis inferiores desses sintomas. 17,20 Chisnoiu et al, 21 também sugere que a ansiedade e o estresse fazem parte da etiologia da DTM e desempenham um papel significativo em manter os sintomas ou piorá-los.…”
