Breathing and trunk exercises for stooped posture in Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
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 or older
- You have a forward stooped posture that completely goes away when you lie down
- Your Parkinson's medications have been stable for the last 3 months
- You can seal your lips properly (for breathing exercises)
- You have not had major spine surgery or serious spine disorders

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.
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 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 trial tests whether a special training program that uses artificial intelligence can help improve posture in people with Parkinson's disease who have a forward bend or lean to one side. If you have Parkinson's and a noticeable postural problem, this might be a way to try a new approach to rehabilitation.
This study tests a new way to help people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance and standing ability through guided exercises in a lab setting. Researchers want to see if this approach can safely help reduce balance problems and fall risk.
This study tests whether a guided strength training program can improve physical function and quality of life in people living with Parkinson's disease. You'll get expert-led exercises designed to strengthen muscles, which may help with daily movement and stability.
