Spinal mobilization for breathing in Parkinson’s disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a hands-on therapy to the spine can improve breathing measures in people with Parkinson’s disease. If you qualify, you would receive spinal mobilization and have your breathing assessed to see if it helps.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease
- You are willing to join and complete the study activities
- Your breathing difficulty score (MMRC) is more than 2
- You do not currently have COVID-19
- You do not have other conditions that affect breathing muscles or lung/chest movement, such as problems with the diaphragm or chest-wall/lung masses that restrict breathing
- You have not had a recent chest or belly (thoracic/abdominal) operation

This study looks at how the brain controls breathing in people with Parkinson's disease compared to healthy volunteers. It may help us understand breathing problems that can occur in Parkinson's.
This study tests whether training the muscles used for breathing and bending forward can improve posture in people with Parkinson's who have a forward stoop. It aims to see if this exercise program can help reduce trunk flexion and improve overall function.
This study tests whether a breathing-based therapy (short bursts of controlled air with higher carbon dioxide) can help with thinking and movement in people with Parkinson's disease. It may be an option for those who are not too advanced in their condition and are healthy enough to participate.
This study tests whether a special muscle training program can improve breathing and voice strength for people with Parkinson's disease. If you have mild to moderate Parkinson's (stages I–III) and are otherwise healthy, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how deep brain stimulation (DBS) affects breathing in people who have Parkinson’s disease and are planning DBS surgery. You may be able to help researchers learn whether DBS changes breathing and how to manage it safely.
This trial tests whether using a mobile app that gives visual feedback while doing breathing exercises can improve symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. It may help you if you are on stable medication.
