The Effect of Spinal Mobilization on Respiratory Parameters in Parkinson's Disease Patients

Studying spinal mobilization's impact on breathing in Parkinson's patients.

Phase N/A

Parkinson's disease can cause breathing problems due to issues like camptocormia, which is when the spine bends too much, making it hard to breathe deeply. This study looks at how spinal mobilization (a therapy that moves the spine to help the diaphragm, the muscle that helps us breathe) and breathing exercises can help Parkinson's patients breathe better. The diaphragm is a muscle below the lungs that helps with breathing. The study will check if these methods can help improve lung function. The goal is to see if these methods can help improve lung function and posture. Participants need to have Parkinson's, be willing to join, and have a certain breathing difficulty score. Those with COVID-19, other specific conditions, or recent surgeries can't join.

  • Participants must visit the study site for several sessions.
  • There are no medications given, just physical therapy.
  • Possible benefits include improved breathing and posture.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
