Breathing and brain control in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- If you have Parkinson's, a neurologist has confirmed your diagnosis and your stage is 1 to 3 on the Hoehn and Yahr scale.
- You can understand the study and follow its instructions.
- You do not have other brain, nerve, or lung conditions, and you are not pregnant or a smoker.
- You cannot have a pacemaker, neurostimulator, cochlear implant, medical pump, or metal in your head or neck.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
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 study looks at how people with Parkinson’s adapt their movements and how their brain sensorimotor system works. It may help researchers improve understanding of Parkinson’s and refine movement-focused therapies.
This study uses a safe, noninvasive brain stimulation method (transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS) to look at brain signals related to thinking and memory in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to measure cognitive changes over time.
This study tests whether different types of gentle electrical stimulation on the scalp can help improve walking and balance problems in people with Parkinson's disease. The goal is to find a better way to support rehabilitation.
