Remarkable research opens up the possibility that group drumming may produce positive psychospiritual changes that, in comparison to conventional treatment with psychiatric medications support side-effect free improvement in parameters beyond symptom suppression.
Significant improvements were found in the drumming group: by week 6 there were decreases in depression and increases in social resilience and by week 10 these had further improved social resilience: alongside significant improvements in anxiety and mental wellbeing
All significant changes were maintained at 3 months follow-up.
Consequently, this study demonstrates the psychological benefits of group drumming and also suggests underlying biological effects, supporting its therapeutic potential for mental health.
Another important discovery here is that group drumming down-regulated inflammation within the immune profiles of study participants.
