About
Dr. Camila Aquino is a leading neurologist and researcher whose work is reshaping the understanding of Parkinson’s disease (PD) and its treatment. Her primary research areas focus on the intersection of advanced neuromodulation and clinical trial design, particularly regarding deep brain stimulation (DBS). Dr. Aquino’s major contribution lies in challenging long-standing methodological norms; her seminal 2023 paper, “Deep Brain Stimulation as an Exclusion Criterion in Parkinson's Disease Studies: Time to Rethink?” argues that excluding DBS patients from PD trials creates a significant selection bias, limiting the generalizability of findings to the very population most in need of novel therapies. This work has rapidly gained traction, accumulating 3 citations in a short time and sparking critical debate within the movement disorders community. By advocating for the inclusion of DBS patients in future studies, Dr. Aquino is pioneering a more inclusive and clinically relevant research paradigm. Her efforts are not only refining trial protocols but also ensuring that therapeutic advances benefit the broadest spectrum of individuals living with Parkinson’s disease.
