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 Parkinson's disease affects breathing. It tests exercises that might help people with Parkinson's breathe better and feel healthier.
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 muscle exercises can improve breathing and voice strength in people with Parkinson's disease. Participants will do guided training and have their breathing and voice measured to see if it helps.
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 breathing muscle training and trunk exercises can help improve forward stooped posture in people with Parkinson's disease. If you have a forward bend that disappears when lying down, this trial may help you stand taller.
This trial tests whether gentle manual therapy on your chest and back can help improve breathing in people with restrictive lung disease, where the lungs have trouble expanding. It focuses on conditions like pulmonary fibrosis, scoliosis, or muscle weakness, and aims to see if this approach helps you breathe more easily.
