	<span style="line-height:1.5;">Music therapy has served
as complementary and alternative medicine for various neurological disorders.
Five Phases Music Therapy (FPMT) employs the theory of five phases and five
music scales or tones (¹¬Gong (do), ÉÌShang
(ri), ½ÇJue (mi), áçZhi
(so) and ÓðYu (la)) to analyze and treat mind-body illness. In
Chinese Medicine (CM), the five music scales are used to connect the human body
and the universe, interpret personalities and constitution and analyze the influences of climatic changes on
health. FPMT has a self-contained theory and routine of practice
application. Large amounts of clinical and fundamental reports have been
available and clinical benefits have been obtained. However, more systemic clinic research esp. evidence-based
and random controlled trials must be performed to validate and optimize its
routines and bi</span><span style="line-height:1.5;">ological and neurological mechanism must be further explored.
It¡¯s reasonable to believe that the effective music therapy will attract more
attention from the world outside China with the introduction of FPMT.</span>
