RESEARCH VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
A new study investigating how singing works for persons Parkinson’s disease is now starting. Participants will complete voice, breathing, and swallow tasks, provide a saliva and blood sample, and brain activity will be collected. Persons with Parkinson’s disease will be invited to participate in a singing group. This study will last for 6 months with a data collection every 8 weeks and a weekly singing group lasts for 16 weeks. Further screening for eligibility will occur during the first study visit. If you would like more information, please contact the Neurophysiology Lab at 515-294-5476.
