Abstract
Music therapy has served as complementary and alternative medicine for various neurological disorders. Five Phases Music Therapy (FPMT) employs the theory of five phases and five music scales or tones (Gong (do), Shang (ri), Jue (mi), Zhi (so) and Yu (la)) to analyze and treat mind-body illness. In Chinese Medicine (CM) the five music scales are used to connect the human body and the universe, summarize personalities and constitution and analyze the influences of climatic changes on health. FPMT has a self-contained theory and routine of practice application. Large amount of clinical and fundamental reports has been available and clinical benefits have been obtained. However more systemic clinic research esp. Evidence-based and random controlled trials must be performed to validate and optimize it’s routines and biological and neurological mechanism must be further explored. It’s reasonable to believe that the introduction of FPMT to the world outside China may attract more attentions to use this effective music therapy.
