Breathing muscle training for Parkinson's with stooped posture
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Parkinson's disease.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a stooped posture (forward bend) that goes away when you lie flat. (This is for the group doing the special breathing exercise.)
- Your Parkinson's medications have not changed in the last 3 months.
- You do not currently smoke and do not have other major health problems (like heart, lung, or bone issues).

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 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 a program that combines posture correction and breathing muscle exercises for people with COPD who also have a forward head posture. It aims to improve breathing and reduce shortness of breath.
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.
This trial tests a special way to strengthen the back muscles to improve posture problems in people with Parkinson’s (or similar conditions). It may help reduce postural deformities and improve movement comfort while your Parkinson’s treatment stays steady.
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.
