A Pilot Study on the Effect of Chinese Pipa Music on Chronic Non-malignant Pain Control in a University Community in Hong Kong

F A L L 2 0 1 3

Chronic pain is common in the community, and associates with stress, depression and anxiety. Pain-killers have their limitations, including side effects, cost and compliance problems. Music offers a potentially effective alternative or acts as adjunct therapy for managing chronic pain, but further research is needed into its efficacy in the local Chinese community setting.

As a primary care service provider to the University community, UHS collaborates with FHSS research team, is now recruiting volunteers, with chronic pain last for more than 3 months, to participate in this pilot study. The aim is to explore the effect of music therapy (in this case Chinese pipa music) in the management of non-malignant chronic pain in a primary care setting. Each participant will receive a music CD which consists of a 20 min Chinese pipa music, specifically arranged and recorded for this study. For details, please contact Dr Dana Lo at ext. 5433 or by email: [email protected]

音樂可紓緩痛楚嗎？

琵琶試玩班共有十二位大學職員及學生，於十月二十二日參加了琵

琶試玩班，在羅醫生及保健處同事的指導下，親身體驗

試彈琵琶的樂趣。雖然許多學員從沒接受過音樂訓練，

但每位也能在短短一小時內，學會彈奏的基本指法，令

人鼓舞。當天樂也融融，望各學員繼續努力。

醫說琴韻之音樂與痛症治療

保健處響應人力資源處主辦的「工作與生活平衡雙週」，於十

月舉辦了四場健康講座，參與的同事及同學接近四百位。首

場講座於十月十六日教務會議室舉行，由保健處羅思敏醫生

主講。網上重溫: http://www.polyu.edu.hk/~uhs/upload_files/Pipa_music2013.htm

長期痛症在社區很常見，而且與情緒抑鬱、焦慮及壓力

互為關連。過去將長期痛症患者定為心理作用，病人往

往得不到公司，家人和醫護人員的體諒和理解，其實近

年科研已確立了慢性痛症的生理基礎。

音樂可能提供紓緩痛楚的作用，或可輔助治療長期痛症

；有專家認為，可令內心跟隨音樂的旋律共鳴，與節奏

同步，把潛意識的情感投射於音樂上，達到「鎮靜劑」

效果。由於過去不少西方及本地的研究已證實音樂在某

方面的治療效果，羅思敏醫生以前線家庭醫生和業餘琵

琶演奏家的身份，在講座裡分享及示範中國琵琶音樂的

特色，以及其用於痛症治療上的可能性。

PolyU Education Info Day 理大教育資訊日

The Annual Hepatitis Awareness Campaign was launched in October this year, with the blood screening service for Hepatitis A and B held in the week of 7-11 October. Nearly 500 PolyU students, staff and retirees had participated in the campaign. The participants would then receive advice if vaccination would be appropriate upon blood test report interpretation. This was followed by coming back to UHS for vaccination according to the vaccination schedule.

Hepatitis A is usually spread when the virus is taken in by mouth from contact with food or drinks contaminated by the feces of an infected person. Hepatitis B is spread when blood, semen or other body fluid infected with the virus enters the body of another person, eg. during child birth, sex, or sharing needles, etc. Both vaccines are safe and effective in prevention, and are available from UHS throughout the year.

The PolyU Education Info Day was held on Saturday, 5 Oct 2013, providing first-hand information to participants who may have interest to study in PolyU. Apart from Info seminars organized by the academic departments, the University Health Service had set an exhibition counter for health promotion to potential PolyU students. The theme for this year was:

“Exam, Fighting, Oosh!”

「唔病就是贏」

Hepatitis Awareness Campaign 預防肝炎運動

編者的話今期的同理心秋季號，報告了於十月份舉辦的四場健康講座，各有特色；還有預防肝炎運動及

理大教育資訊日的活動。見到各位同事及同學對每項活動也踴躍支持，就是健康教育組最大的

原動力。正如何總監經常提醒我們，保健處絕對不是希望見到病人時常生病，而是希望提升各

位對健康的關注及做好疾病預防工作。隨著保健處的二樓擴建工程即將展開，及網頁也快將更

新，期望我們的醫療及健康教育服務能覆蓋更多、更深的層面，守護理大校園健康。
