Ancient and modern music cures diseases.
There is a 33-year-old bank clerk Anthony in Brazil. Kurkamp? Diaz had a brain tumor resection in the hospital. During the operation, Diaz, who was conscious, played the guitar so that the doctor could observe his brain. His clinician, gene? Aber? Machado said that it is very important to keep patients awake and monitor their brain activity during the operation, which is very important for the success of the operation.
Coincidentally, the American Minnesota Philharmonic violinist Roger? Fritz also played musical instruments during the operation to help doctors determine the exact location of brain implants.
About 4000 years ago, ancient Indians also used music to relieve the suffering of patients. The ancient Greeks regarded emotional purification as an important process of psychotherapy, and the purification process was realized by watching drama performances and listening to music performances.
In modern times, music therapy, as a professional discipline, originated from casas University. After more than half a century's development, music therapy has become a mature and complete discipline, with hundreds of established clinical treatment methods and numerous theoretical schools. Nearly 80 universities in the United States offer music therapy majors to train bachelor, master and doctoral students. At present, there are more than 4,000 registered music therapists working in mental hospitals, general hospitals, geriatric hospitals, children's hospitals, special education schools and various psychological clinics in the United States.
Music therapy was introduced to Asia in the 1970s. At present, most general hospitals in China and Taiwan Province Province have specialized music therapists, but they are rare in Chinese mainland.
In fact, the ancients also realized that music therapy was of great benefit to patients. The famous doctor in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin's doctor, discussed the relationship between music and human body and mind. He thinks that listening to music selectively is beneficial to physical and mental health. Zhu Zhenheng, a famous doctor in Yuan Dynasty, clearly pointed out: "Music is also medicine." He advocates listening to music as a kind of psychotherapy.
Traditional medicine in China has long been known as "five tones and five elements". Huangdi Neijing records that "heaven has five tones, and people have five internal organs; According to the theory of "Six Ways of Heaven" and "Horny wood sounds to activate the liver, heart fire, palace soil to activate the spleen, feather water to activate the kidney", five sounds can act on the corresponding five organs, such as horny wood sounds, liver sound and liver anger. Signing is a fire, leading to the heart. The use of signs can "nourish yin and help the heart" This shows that traditional medicine in China holds a positive attitude towards treating diseases with music.
Melody and rhythm can regulate physiological response.
What is the essence of music? Music is a combination of a series of musical sounds, thus forming a musical combination with melody, rhythm and other characteristics. This combination needs to instill more human thoughts and emotions, making it an "art of manipulating sound" that reflects the spiritual world of human beings.
Humans can distinguish different kinds of music, which depends on two systems. First, the developed auditory system can decompose this complex mechanical vibration of music into a series of orderly neural signals and send them to the brain. Secondly, the auditory pathway can process these neural signals and make humans respond to these signals. At the same time, the developed cerebral cortex also endows us with higher nervous activity's ability to generate thoughts and emotions on these signals.
Soothing and beautiful music can make people relax and eliminate fatigue, while impassioned music can make people refreshed and full of strength. Studies have proved that melody and rhythm can lower people's blood pressure and slow down the speed of basic metabolism and breathing. When stress comes, the body will only have a mild physiological response because of music, which will naturally reduce the pressure. Therefore, music combined with medical system can provide auxiliary treatment for various psychological and physiological diseases.
Clinical studies have found that the brain stem reticular structure of the limbic system and the central nervous system plays a major role in regulating human internal organs and body functions. Some scientists believe that music can directly or indirectly affect these neural structures, that is, physical, physiological and psychological effects.
Scientists who hold this view believe that music is a regular sound wave vibration and a kind of physical energy from the perspective of physical action. After music is introduced into human body through auditory nerve, many vibration systems of human body, such as heart beating, gastrointestinal peristalsis, brain photoelectric waves, etc., will react to it, and synchronous and harmonious vibration may occur, thus regulating blood flow and nerves and achieving harmony and comfort of the body.
From the physiological and psychological functions, the center of music activity is in the right hemisphere of the brain. Wonderful music can adjust and improve the emotional state. Happy and positive emotions play a good role in people's life activities, which can fully mobilize and play the potential of the body, improve the excitement of nerve cells and the vitality of the whole nervous system.
In fact, a good emotional state can indeed make the activities of various organs and systems of the human body coordinated, the adrenal hormones are secreted in an appropriate amount, and the whole endocrine system and physiological active substances such as hormones, enzymes and acetylcholine in the body are in a stable and balanced state. By regulating nerves and neurohumors, promoting blood circulation, enhancing gastrointestinal peristalsis and digestive gland secretion, strengthening metabolic activities and improving immunity, it is beneficial to physical and mental health.
Music therapy is more than just listening to music.
At present, the authoritative interpretation of music therapy should be Cohen, a famous American music therapist, former president of the American Music Therapy Association and professor of Temple University. Brucia's definition in The Definition of Music Therapy: "Music therapy is a systematic intervention process. In this process, the therapist uses various forms of music experience and the therapeutic relationship developed during the treatment process to enable patients to achieve healthy goals. "
Brucia reminded people that music therapy is a scientific and systematic treatment process, including the application of different methods and genre theories, and its curative effect will be observed and controlled by music therapists at any time. Just like those two patients who have brain surgery, they play while doing the operation. The doctor directly observes their brains excited by melody through the instrument to judge whether the operation is successful or not.
"Music therapy is based on all music-related activities, such as listening, singing, instrumental performance, music creation, lyrics creation, improvisation, dance, art and other activities, instead of thinking that music therapy is just listening to music and relaxing, as some people think." Brucia said.
Therefore, it is difficult to achieve the effect of music therapy only by listening to music. The process of music therapy must be carried out by qualified music therapists with special training, and the treatment scheme should be adjusted at any time according to the patient's condition.
Although modern music therapy was introduced to China more than 30 years ago, it has not been popularized. What is the relationship between music and medicine, and how to use music therapy to make its effect more obvious, these problems remain to be solved by scientists one by one.
