Abstract

Background: CUMULATIVE TRAUMA DISORDERS (CTDs) are common in MUSICians and their prevalence rates have been studied in most Western countries. However, their prevalence that, to our experience seemed to be higher in non-professional Iranian instrumentalists, hasn’t been studied yet. This study has been designed to confirm and explain it, if confirmed this hypothesis.Methods: In a prospective cross sectional study, we interviewed and examined the students of three MUSIC training centers in Iran. Seventy eight instrumentalists, who were playing Daf or Setar and twelve students who hadn't started paying were regarded as case and control groups respectively; some of them were studied electro diagnostically too.Results: Fifty-three percent of the instrumentalists had CTDs. This rate is higher than most reported prevalence rates (9-29%). None of them had carpal tunnel syndrome.Conclusion: our study revealed that the prevalence of CTDs in Iranian instrumentalists was abnormally high. This is an unusual finding that can't be explained by the difference in the instruments (classical versus traditional), the playing method or the intensity of the exercise, so we concluded that the Iranians are supported by genetic analysis and larger studies.
