High-Performing Young Musicians' Playing-Related Pain. Results of a Large-Scale Study.

ABSTRACT: The present study examines the prevalence, localization, frequency, and intensity of playing-related pain (PRP) in a sample of high-performing young musicians. We also address coping behavior and communication about PRP between young musicians, teachers, parents, and other people, such as friends. The aim is to provide information on PRP among high-performing musicians in childhood and adolescence, which can serve as a basis for music education, practice, and prevention in the context of instrumental teaching and musicians' health. The study is part of a large-scale study (N = 1,143) with highly musically gifted participants (age 9-24 years; M = 15.1; SD = 2.14, female = 62%) at the national level of the "Jugend musiziert" (youth making music) contest.
