Can a phone app boost breathing muscle training in Parkinson's?
NCT ID NCT06942533
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether real-time visual feedback from the SpiroGym app helps people with Parkinson's disease perform breathing muscle exercises more effectively. Thirty participants will do the exercises with and without the app's feedback, and researchers will measure muscle activity and effort. The goal is to see if the app makes training more intense and potentially more beneficial.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
SpiroGym mobile application providing real-time visual feedback during expiratory muscle strength training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that adding visual feedback makes breathing exercises more effective for people with Parkinson's disease.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study (30 people) looking at short-term muscle activity, not long-term breathing or quality of life. The results may not apply to all Parkinson's patients.
