Muscle training for breathing and voice in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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 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 trial tests a breathing exercise (expiratory muscle training) to see if it helps improve forward stooped posture in people with Parkinson's disease. You would practice the exercise regularly, and the study may help you stand straighter and breathe more easily.
This study tests a breathing exercise program to strengthen the muscles you use to breathe, which may help you feel better and be more active despite heart failure. You must have stable heart failure and not have had recent heart problems or surgery.
This trial compares different types of breathing muscle exercises for people with COPD. It aims to find which training is most helpful for improving breathing and daily life.
This study tests whether specific breathing exercises can help people who have been on a ventilator for a long time get stronger and be able to breathe on their own. It also checks how the diaphragm (the main breathing muscle) responds to this training.
This study tests whether a special breathing exercise program can help teenagers with cerebral palsy breathe and cough more easily. It may improve their overall breathing health and quality of life.
