Abstract
Objectives This study aims to understand the overall flow of past research by analyzing trends in music therapy intervention research related to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in South Korea and to present data that will serve as a direction and basis for follow-up research.
 Methods Initially, it was found 176 studies published between January 2000 and December 2022. A total of 19 papers were finally selected after 8 rounds of literature purification process. This was sequentially classified into research information, characteristics of study participants, and music therapy intervention-related information.
 Results Among the final 19 studies, 8 were quantitative studies and 9 were qualitative studies. The number of papers published every five years was the highest from 2005 to 2009 and from 2015 to 2019, with 6 papers each. As for the number of research participants, 10 studies (52.63%) had less than 10 participants, and 3 papers (15.79%) had more than 50 participants. 119(28.81%) participants were aged between teens and 40s. The most common type of trauma experienced by participants was ‘repetitive trauma’, with 17 people (89.48%). Regarding music therapy intervention, the independent variable was ‘expressive music activity’, which was the most com-mon with 9 studies(47.37%), and the dependent variable was ‘composite’ variable with two or more areas estab-lished, which was the highest with 8 studies(42.11%). The type of intervention was ‘group’ in 10 cases (52.63%), and the number of sessions was 10 to 19 sessions, 8 cases (42.11%). The intervention time was 40 to 50 minutes in 4 cases (21.05%). Lastly, the location of music therapy intervention was often carried out in a ‘music practice room or music therapy room’. Except for four papers, treatment interventions were performed by professional music therapists.
 Conclusions This study provided a comprehensive perspective on the characteristics of music therapy for pa-tients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
