About
Dr. Pinky Agarwal is a leading clinical researcher in movement disorders, with a primary focus on Parkinson’s disease (PD) and deep brain stimulation (DBS). Her work challenges long-standing methodological norms in PD research, particularly the routine exclusion of patients with DBS from clinical trials. In her highly influential 2023 paper, “Deep Brain Stimulation as an Exclusion Criterion in Parkinson's Disease Studies: Time to Rethink?”—which has already garnered significant attention for a recent publication—she argues that excluding the growing population of DBS-treated patients limits the generalizability and real-world relevance of PD studies. By advocating for more inclusive trial designs, Dr. Agarwal is shaping the future of evidence-based care for advanced PD. Her contributions bridge the gap between clinical practice and research, ensuring that treatments reflect the full spectrum of patients living with the disease. With a career dedicated to improving outcomes for those with complex motor fluctuations and dyskinesias, Dr. Agarwal’s work is essential reading for clinicians and researchers seeking to advance the field of neuromodulation and personalized neurology.
