Abstract(s)
Introdução: As perturbações do espetro do autismo são um conjunto de
patologias do neurodesenvolvimento que se manifestam por dificuldades na
comunicação e interação social, associadas a comportamentos repetitivos. A
musicoterapia tem sido descrita na literatura como uma terapêutica complementar
benéfica nestes pacientes. O objetivo deste trabalho consiste em rever a evidência
do efeito da musicoterapia como intervenção não farmacológica, em crianças e
adolescentes que sofrem desta patologia.
Métodos: Pesquisaram-se normas de orientação clínica, revisões sistemáticas,
metanálises e ensaios clínicos controlados e aleatorizados, nas bases de dados da
National Guideline Clearinghouse, Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network,
Canadian Medical Association Infobase, Cochrane Library, Bandolier, Pubmed e
Índex das Revistas Médicas Portuguesas, publicados desde sempre e até dezembro
de 2015, em inglês ou português, com os termos MeSH, “music-therapy” e “autism
spectrum disorder” ou “autistic disorder”.
Resultados: Foram incluídos nesta revisão seis artigos: uma norma de
orientação clínica, uma metanálise, duas revisões sistemáticas e dois ensaios
clínicos controlados e aleatorizados. Na maioria dos estudos verificou-se que a
musicoterapia apresenta evidência limitada como intervenção não farmacológica
em crianças e adolescentes com perturbações do espetro do autismo.
Conclusões: É necessária a realização de mais estudos de investigação, de boa
qualidade metodológica, para se estabelecer a eficácia da musicoterapia neste
grupo terapêutico.
Introduction: Autism Spectrum Disorders are complex neurodevelopmental conditions characterized by impairments in communication, social interaction and repetitive behaviours. It is widely reported that music therapy can be beneficial to individuals with autism. The aim of this article is to review the evidence of the effect of music therapy as a non-pharmacological therapy in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. Methods: A search was made for clinical guidelines, systematic reviews, meta-analysis and randomized controlled clinical trials published since ever until December 2015 in English and Portuguese, with the MeSH terms “music therapy” and “autism spectrum disorder” or “autistic disorder”. Database sources included the National Guideline Clearinghouse, Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, Canadian Medical Association Infobase, Cochrane Library, Bandolier, Pubmed and Index of Portuguese Medical Journals. Results: we included six studies in this review: one guideline, one meta-analysis, two systematics reviews and two clinical randomized controlled trials. Most articles concluded that music therapy shows limited evidence as a non-pharmacological intervention in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders. Conclusions: Future research studies, methodologically more robust, need to be conducted to establish for effectiveness of music therapy in this therapeutic group.
