Can Traditional Healing Systems Integrate With Music Therapy - Sumathy Sundar interviews T. V. Sairam
No full textIn recent trends of attributing any kind of illness to a Bio- Psycho- Social model, the psyche and physiology are interrelated in the context of psycho- social pressures resulting in patho-physiological outcomes. Within this context, an integrated treatment approach has been welcomed by health professionals in a variety of clinical settings. This has led to the introduction of Complementary Therapies which take care of the often unmet psychological and social needs of the patients. In a country like India, known for its rich cultural heritage and traditions, many traditional healing systems like Yoga and Ayurveda have been welcomed globally and have been given scientific endorsements for their therapeutic values. One such approach called nada yoga refers to the study of the powerful influence that nada exerts on one\u27s mind or consciousness. Dr. T V Sairam has been extensively working on nada yoga for quite some time. This interview is an attempt to answer the question if traditional healing systems like nada yoga can integrate with Music Therapy. We hope that this will be of interest to many present-day music therapists. Note that all Sanskrist terms (in italics) used in the interview are described in more detail in the Glossary at the end of the interview

No full textEffect of a Single Musical Cakra Activation Manoeuvre on Body Temperature: An Exploratory Study
No full textCakra activation/balancing and music therapy are part of the traditional Indian healing system. Little is known about effect of musical (vocal) technique of cakra activation on body temperature. We conducted a single-session exploratory study to evaluate effects of a single musical (vocal) cakra activation manoeuvre on body temperature in controlled settings. Seven healthy adults performed a single musical (vocal) cakra activation manoeuvre for approximately 12 minutes in controlled environmental conditions. Pre- and post-manoeuvre body temperatures were recorded with a clinical mercury thermometer. After a single manoeuvre, increase in body temperature was recorded in all seven subjects. The range of increase in body temperature was from 0.2×F to 1.4×F; with mean temperature rise being 0.5×F and median temperature rise being 0.4×F. We conclude that a single session of musical (vocal) technique of cakra activation elevated body temperatures in all 7 subjects. Further research is required to study effects of various cakra activation techniques on body temperature and other physiological parameters
Can Music Therapists Synergise With Medical Practitioners to Make Music Therapy Evidence-based?
No full textThere is an increasing global need for music therapy practice to be evidence-based with more experimental research findings. This is particularly the case as music therapy is introduced as a complementary therapy in many medical settings, with special reference to integrated care. Can music therapy be really evidence-based as is the case in medicine? How practical is it? Can the multidimensional role that a music therapist plays in a therapeutic setting, her skills, the time she spends with the clients and the effects of music, all be compared to a medical approach? Should music therapists collaborate more with health professionals not only in practice, but also in research to make it evidence based? What are the strengths of music therapy in the medical profession?
Oncology is a very challenging area in the medical field and likewise music therapy is challenging in an oncology setting. Many music therapists are interested in working in this challenging speciality in research. Here is an interview with a renowned Indian surgical oncologist, Dr. Ravi Kannan. He is keen on music therapy being a part of the integrated team in cancer care in India and emphasises the need for more research to be carried out that is evidence-based

Classification of Diabetic Retinopathy Disease Levels by Extracting Topological Features Using Graph Neural Networks
No full textDiabetic retinopathy happens due to damage in blood vessels and is the prominent reason for blindness worldwide. Clinical experts observe the fundus images to diagnose the disease, but it is often an error-prone and tedious task. Computer-assisted techniques will help clinicians to detect the disease severity levels. In medical imaging, experiments of automated diagnosis using CNN produce impressive results. Even though disease classification tasks in retinal images via CNN face difficulty in retaining high-quality information at the output. A new deep learning methodology is proposed based on a graph convolutional neural network (GCNN). The proposed model aims to extract the essential retinal image features effectively. The work focuses on extracting the features using a Variational autoencoder and identifying the underlying topological correlations using GCNN. The experiments are carried out using two datasets: Kaggle and EyePACS datasets. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated using accuracy, U-kappa, sensitivity and specificity metrics. The results outperform when compared with other state-of-the-art techniques
MUSIC THERAPY CLINICAL PRACTICE AND RESEARCH INITIATIVES IN INDIA: BRIDGE BETWEEN THE EXPERIENCES OF TRADITIONAL MUSIC HEALING PRACTICES AND ITS SCIENTIFIC VALIDATIONS
No full textThe aim of this review is to showcase and discuss about how music therapy clinical practice and research initiatives in India serve as a bridge between the experiences of traditional music healing practices and its scientific validations. The current status of these healing applications in the global framework of music therapy is highlighted. The multi-modal approach by which aspiring music therapists engage in clinical practice and research with an individualized approach to bring about the therapeutic outcome are presented. Traditional healing resources like Vedic chanting, Raga Cikitsa, Garbha Sanskara (Learning in the Womb), Time theory of ragas integrating the ancient Ayurvedic perspectives and Cakra activation (music and breathing technique using ragas) are enumerated. The clinical outcomes are reviewed as a way to impact biological, physiological, psychological, chrono-biological and spiritual dimensions
