Changes in intraocular pressure before, during, and after playing Thai Traditional, Thai Folk, and Western wind instruments.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To compare and evaluate intraocular pressure (IOP) during and after playing Thai traditional (TT), Thai folk (TF), and Western (WT) wind instruments.

Methods

Three types of wind instruments were used: Thai traditional, Thai folk, and Western, played by three groups of players according to an identical set of notes for 120 seconds. Five IOP measurements were performed before, during (37 and 101 seconds), and after (150 and 240 seconds) playing the instruments. Primary outcomes were differences in IOP between groups during the performance. Secondary outcomes were differences in IOP between groups after the performance. A mixed-effect model for repeated measures (MMRM) was used for statistical analysis.

Results

Thirty eyes from 15 participants were included, w
