Breathing therapy for thinking and movement in Parkinson's
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether a breathing-based therapy (short bursts of controlled air with higher carbon dioxide) can help with thinking and movement in people with Parkinson's disease. It may be an option for those who are not too advanced in their condition and are healthy enough to participate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can improve thinking skills in people with Parkinson's. If you are willing to exercise in a group, this trial might help you understand the benefits of exercise.
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 if a low dose of carbon monoxide (HBI-002) is safe and helpful for people with Parkinson's disease. It requires specific health criteria and stable Parkinson's medication.
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 measures how your blood pressure affects thinking skills and how blood flows in the brain in people with Parkinson’s. It may help researchers understand what blood-pressure changes could mean for cognition in Parkinson’s.
