“…Target sample populations were varied, with three studies were targeting the general student body (Bao and Jin 2015;Lee et al 2013;Witt et al 2005), one targeting musicians (Sousa et al 2012), and five targeting youth population with specific conditions, including those who had learning disabilities and behavioral problems (Baron and Faubert 2005), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Stephens et al 2008), or who were overweight or obese (Tsang et al 2009a(Tsang et al , b, 2010(Tsang et al , 2013. In the Tai Chi or Qigong arm, nine studies did not report adherence, while four did, with adherence ranging from 42 to 90%.…”

“…Table 3 shows that limited evidence on effectiveness was found, with the exception of MPA and heart rate outcomes, in which positive alterations were found in isolated form in the studies 24,25,27 . It is important to note that the study 27 involved adolescents and, though experimental, had quite a small sample size (n < 19). Table 3 also shows that with regards to music therapy, the only two studies which were assessed reported positive evidence only in terms of the decrease in state anxiety (effect size: 0.72-1.14).…”

Background: Music performance anxiety (MPA) is characterised by fears related to performing music. It may result in damages to personal life and professional career, so treatment and prevention are very important. Objective: To undertake a systematic literature review on the effectiveness/efficacy of MPA interventions and to integrate these findings to those in the literature reviewed previously. Methods: We used PubMed, PsycINFO and SciELO databases and keywords music*, performance anxiety, treatment, therapy and intervention and manual research. We selected articles published between October-2002/July-2016. Results: Out of 97 articles, 23 were reviewed. Sixteen studies presented inter-group experimental design, and seven presented pre-post experimental design. The intervention modalities reviewed were cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), virtual reality exposure, biofeedback, yoga, meditation, music therapy and the Alexander technique. Although the interventions presented some indicators of efficacy in the MPA outcomes and improvement in performance quality, important methodological limitations were observed: low number of individuals and non-specific criteria for their inclusion/exclusion. This reinforces previous findings regarding methodological fragilities associated with this context. Discussion: CBT is the most frequently studied modality and with the greatest number of effectiveness indicators. The remaining modalities indicate tendencies in positive outcomes that require further and efficient investigation in more rigorous studies with greater methodological control.

In search of new methods. Qigong in stuttering therapy

Introduction: Even though stuttering is probably as old a phenomenon as the human speech itself, the stuttering therapy is still a challenge for the therapist and requires constant searching for new methods. Qigong may prove to be one of them. Aim of the research: The research paper presents the results of an experimental investigation evaluating the usefulness of qigong practice in stuttering therapy. Material and methods: Two groups of stuttering adults underwent 6-month therapy. In group I -the experimental one (n = 11) -the therapy consisted of speech fluency training, psychotherapy and qigong practice. In group II -the control one (n = 12) -it included speech fluency training and psychotherapy. In both groups 2-hour sessions of speech fluency training and psychotherapy were conducted twice a week. Two-hour qigong sessions took place once a week. Results: After 6 months the therapy results were compared with regard to the basic stuttering parameters, such as the degree of speech disfluency, the level of logophobia and speech disfluency symptoms. Improvement was observed in both groups, the beneficial effects, however, being more prominent in the qigong-practising group. Conclusions: Qigong exercises used in the therapy of stuttering people along with speech fluency training and psychotherapy give beneficial effects.
