Summary

This study tests whether a new therapy to improve coughing and swallowing works as well when done at home via telehealth as it does in person. About 120 people with Parkinson's disease who have trouble swallowing will take part. The goal is to find easier ways to help patients protect their airways and avoid pneumonia.
