About
Dominique Guehl is a leading neurologist and researcher whose work centers on the surgical treatment of movement disorders, particularly Parkinson’s disease. His primary research focus is deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus, where he has made pivotal contributions to refining surgical techniques and improving patient outcomes. Guehl is best known for his groundbreaking work on asleep versus awake DBS, demonstrating through a landmark Phase 2 randomized trial that asleep DBS can achieve motor outcomes comparable to the traditional awake procedure, with a favorable safety profile. This study, which has garnered 47 citations, has helped shift clinical practice toward less invasive, image-guided approaches. Beyond this, Guehl has extensively investigated the neurophysiological underpinnings of DBS, exploring how stimulation parameters affect motor and cognitive functions. His research has been instrumental in advancing personalized DBS programming, reducing surgical risks, and broadening access to this life-changing therapy. With a career dedicated to bridging neuroscience and clinical practice, Guehl’s work continues to shape the standard of care for Parkinson’s disease patients worldwide.
