Music performance anxiety (MPA) affects many individuals regardless of age, gender, experience, and hours of practice. In order to better understand the epidemiology of MPA, a review of the literature was done. Sixteen articles, meeting EBM criteria, were identified and analyzed. Children rarely suffer from MPA, while adolescents show symptoms similar to adults. Females are generally more affected than males. There is no relation between professional experience and performance anxiety. Great musicians such as Pau Casals and Enrico Caruso suffered from MPA. Nevertheless, students affected by MPA may decide not to become professional musicians because of their inability to cope with the devastating effects of performance anxiety. Solo performances showed higher MPA scores than ensemble performances. Despite these conclusions, long-term cohort studies with larger, homogeneous groups of subjects would be desirable, according to the evidence-based medicine criteria.
音乐表演焦虑症（MPA）影响着许多人，无论其年龄、性别、经验和练习时长如何。为了更好地了解MPA的流行病学，我们对文献进行了综述。共识别并分析了16篇符合循证医学标准的文章。儿童很少患MPA，而青少年表现出与成年人相似的症状。女性通常比男性受影响更大。专业经验与表演焦虑之间没有关联。像帕布罗·卡萨尔斯和恩里科·卡鲁索这样的伟大音乐家都患有MPA。然而，受MPA影响的学生可能会因为无法应对表演焦虑的毁灭性影响而决定不成为职业音乐家。独奏表演的MPA得分高于合奏表演。尽管有这些结论，但根据循证医学标准，进行更大规模、同质受试群体的长期队列研究将是可取的。
