Abstract

Objectives: This study was designed to find the effect of Oriental medicine music therapy (OMMT) on elementary school children's concentration. Methods & Results: OMMT as a study tool has several programs, including playing the musical instruments and listening to the music. The measurement tools of the study were Harris & Harris' grid and visual analogue scale (VAS) for overall condition. As a result, the score of Harris & Harris' grid increased from $12.94{\pm}8.20$ to $15.24{\pm}8.74$ (P=0.032) and VAS for overall condition increased from $74.85{\pm}27.37$ to $92.35{\pm}24.10$ (P=0.002) Conclusions: This case series showed that OMMT might be an effective treatment to improve elementary school children's concentration.
