Muscle training to help breathing and voice in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson's disease at a mild to moderate stage (Hoehn and Yahr stage I, II, or III)
- You are between 30 and 85 years old
- Your Parkinson's symptoms are stable with regular medication
- You do not smoke or have a history of smoking
- You have no other lung, voice, or neurological conditions (like asthma, stroke, or Alzheimer'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 a special breathing exercise (training the muscles you use to exhale) for people with Parkinson's disease who also have a forward-stooped posture. The goal is to see if it helps improve posture and breathing.
This study tests whether strengthening your breathing muscles with a special device can improve your breathing and daily function. It is for people with chronic heart failure who are stable on their current medications and have not been hospitalized recently.
This trial tests a special breathing exercise program for people with heart failure. It aims to see if strengthening your breathing muscles can help you feel better and be more active.
This study tests whether a breathing exercise program can help children with cerebral palsy strengthen their breathing muscles. It aims to improve their respiratory health and overall function.
This study tests whether adding special muscle-strengthening exercises (PNF) to breathing exercises helps patients come off breathing machines faster and more successfully. You'd be in the hospital on a ventilator and meet certain readiness criteria, then receive the additional training alongside standard care.
