Performing arts medicine.

Arts medicine has come of age, resulting from 3 important developments over the past decade: improved methods of diagnosis and treatment, an awareness that artists suffer from special problems related to their occupation and lifestyle, and the establishment of health programs emphasizing an interdisciplinary approach to these patients. We focus on the patterns of illness afflicting performing artists, specifically dancers, singers, actors, and instrumental musicians, and explain some of the things a health care team can do in treating these patients. The conditions governing these patients' lives--early exposure to high expectations of excellence, incessant demands for perfection, long periods of intense practicing, fierce competition, high levels of anxiety associated with performance, and uncertain careers--need to be understood. Levels of disease and disability are remarkably high, but artists often ignore symptoms. We discuss the musculoskeletal, neurologic, vocal, psychological, and other syndromes found among performers and some of the difficulties in treating them. The prevention of injury, conservative management, collaboration with teachers, and a psychotherapeutic approach are desirable. Arts medicine programs for professional consultation exist in several major cities of the United States and abroad. Although research is needed regarding the effectiveness of health care services for performing artists, the scientific literature devoted to this field is growing.

Odyssey: the history of performing arts medicine.

The first publication to summarize the occupational diseases of musicians was Ramazzini's Diseases of Tradesmen in 1713. While there was sporadic interest in performing arts medicine during the 1800s, the first book devoted to the subject, Singer's Diseases of the Musical Profession, was published in 1932. During the 1960s and 1970s, both physicians and performers became more interested in arts medicine. When pianists Gary Graffman and Leon Fleisher publicly discussed their career-ending hand problems in the early 1980s, a huge, previously unknown group of injured musicians was brought to light. Since that time, publication in the field has dramatically increased, numerous conferences have been held, and clinics catering to the needs to performers have been set up in various large cities. Although we still do not have all the answers to the problems faced by performing artists, arts medicine is now a recognized discipline, reaching out to performers, arts educators, arts administrators, and instrument manufacturers.

Performing arts medicine and the Internet.

The tremendous growth of the Internet and the World Wide Web over the last ten years has revolutionized communication in the United States. A great deal of information is available to assist in patient education and medical decision making. The field of performing arts medicine represents only a small portion of the web, but the relevant sites provide much helpful material. Bibliographic sites lead the researcher to further print resources. Many of the organizations concerned with performing arts medicine have web sites describing their history, goals, and services. Sites maintained by individuals, universities, and associations cover the field in general, as well as specific topics such as repetitive strain injuries, related computer and typing injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, and hearing loss. Performing arts medicine is a highly interdisciplinary field and the collaborative nature of the Internet is well suited to this diverse, geographically dispersed population.

[Medicine: art or science?].

The question of how science, medicine and medical practice are related also compromises the crucial issue of the character of medicine. At the beginning of the 19th century, medicine tried to overcome the ancient contradiction within the unity of scientific thought and the deduction of guidelines and techniques for medical practice. This aim was partly achieved in medico-theoretical reasoning and practical procedures as well as for nosology, casuistic thinking and diagnostics. But medicine is a discipline directed towards healing. So the intentions of medicine and the reality of clinical healing possibilities, however, showed an increasing divergence since the middle of the 19th century. This divergence triggered considerable reactions not only from "Schulmedizin" and from other disciplines but also from practicing doctors and mainly from (disappointed) patients. Together with the continuous changes in empirical clinical research these internal and especially external reactions to medicine showed fundamental differences between medicine and the sciences. During the decades of this development it has become obvious that medicine will never become a pure science, not even an applied science. As medicine is concerned with patients who need to be considered as individual subjects, medical knowledge and medical practice consequently form a dialectic unity which is directed by the patient as a subject.
