Breathing exercises for Parkinson's disease
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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 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 studies whether doing regular moderate aerobic exercise can help protect the brain in people with Parkinson’s disease. It also includes people without Parkinson’s to compare exercise effects, using fitness and safety screening to keep everyone safe.
This study looks at how different amounts of physical exercise affect brain chemicals, movement symptoms, and brain connections in people with Parkinson's disease. You would walk and do exercises while researchers track changes over time.
This trial studies whether a physical activity program can improve brain health and thinking skills in people with Parkinson's disease who also have mild cognitive impairment. It is designed for those who are not already very active.
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 tests if short bursts of exercise (called 'snacks') help people with Parkinson's disease. You would do quick exercises at home and track them online. It might improve your movement and daily function.
