In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Breathing is a complex process, which can be controlled through voluntary command or neural control. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder. Many individuals with PD experience respiratory problems, such as coughing difficulties or shortness of breath. Changes in neural control of breathing could be part of the reason of these respiratory problems. This study will measure whether neural control of breathing is impaired in individuals with PD compared to healthy individuals.
