Bending forward and airway protection in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how bending forward (trunk flexion) affects your body's ability to protect your airway in Parkinson's disease. It may help understand breathing risks and guide therapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of Parkinson's disease
- You are 18 years of age or older
- You can follow instructions and perform breathing and grip strength tests reliably
- You can form a tight seal with your lips
- You do not have serious heart, lung, or other neurological conditions besides Parkinson's
- You do not have significant hand deformities that affect grip strength measurement

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 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 rehabilitation approach aimed at improving airway protection during swallowing in people with Parkinson’s disease. It may help reduce the risk of food or liquid going down the wrong way by improving swallow safety.
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 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 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.
