About This Parkinson Disease Study in Gainesville

Parkinsonism impairs upper airway and axial motor control, leading to disordered breathing, reduced speech volume, and ineffective cough. Symptoms are poorly addressed by current therapies. This randomized pilot trial tests whether a single session of acute intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia (AIHH) or hypercapnic normoxia (AIHN) improves upper airway and axial motor function in Parkinsonism, and explores biomarker correlates of intervention responsiveness.

Sponsor: University of Florida

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

adults 40 to 75 years of age (the latter to reduce the likelihood of cardiovascular disease)
diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinsonism with Hoehn and Yahr stages 2-4
medically stable with physician clearance
ability to ambulate at least 10 feet with/without assistance
ability to follow directions
willing to abstain from blood donation for the duration of the study

Exclusion Criteria

additional neurologic conditions
severe illness or infection, including respiratory/cardiovascular/lung disease, or uncontrolled hypertension
inspiratory stridor
pregnancy due to unknown tAIH effects on a fetus, although females of childbearing age will not be excluded\
cigarette smoking or vaping within 5 years
history of head/neck/lung cancer with the exception of basal cell carcinoma
is currently participating in another research study that could influence the results from this study
has deep brain stimulation electrodes implanted or has a history of deep brain stimulation
faints or becomes lightheaded at the sight of blood
If a female of childbearing potential indicates there is a chance she could be pregnant, she will be provided a pregnancy test and allowed to continue in the study if negative. This is because the fetal risks associated with intermittent hypoxia are unknown.
