The first publication to summarize the occupational diseases of musicians was Ramazzini's Diseases of Tradesmen in 1713. While there was sporadic interest in performing arts medicine during the 1800s, the first book devoted to the subject, Singer's Diseases of the Musical Profession, was published in 1932. During the 1960s and 1970s, both physicians and performers became more interested in arts medicine. When pianists Gary Graffman and Leon Fleisher publicly discussed their career-ending hand problems in the early 1980s, a huge, previously unknown group of injured musicians was brought to light. Since that time, publication in the field has dramatically increased, numerous conferences have been held, and clinics catering to the needs to performers have been set up in various large cities. Although we still do not have all the answers to the problems faced by performing artists, arts medicine is now a recognized discipline, reaching out to performers, arts educators, arts administrators, and instrument manufacturers.
1713年，拉马齐尼所著的《工匠疾病》成为首篇总结音乐家职业病的出版物。在19世纪，人们对表演艺术医学偶有兴趣，而第一本专门论述该主题的书籍——辛格所著的《音乐职业疾病》于1932年出版。在20世纪60年代和70年代，医生和表演者都对艺术医学更感兴趣。20世纪80年代初，钢琴家加里·格拉夫曼和莱昂·弗莱舍公开讨论了导致他们职业生涯终结的手部问题，一大批此前不为人知的受伤音乐家由此被曝光。从那时起，该领域的出版物大幅增加，举办了众多会议，并且在各大城市设立了满足表演者需求的诊所。尽管我们仍未找到表演艺术家所面临问题的所有答案，但艺术医学如今已成为一门公认的学科，其服务对象涵盖表演者、艺术教育工作者、艺术管理人员和乐器制造商。
