About
Elsa Krim is a leading clinical researcher in movement disorders, with a focused expertise in neuromodulation for Parkinson’s disease. Her work centers on optimizing deep brain stimulation (DBS) techniques, particularly comparing asleep versus awake surgical procedures to improve patient outcomes and safety. Krim’s most cited study, a Phase 2 randomized trial published in 2020, was the first prospective, randomized investigation to assess motor outcomes and safety of asleep subthalamic nucleus DBS. This landmark work has garnered 47 citations, establishing a critical evidence base for a technique that is rapidly gaining clinical adoption. By rigorously evaluating noncomparative trial designs, Krim has helped shift surgical paradigms, demonstrating that asleep DBS can be performed effectively without compromising motor benefits. Her contributions are pivotal for advancing personalized, less invasive treatment strategies in functional neurosurgery, directly impacting clinical guidelines and the daily lives of patients with Parkinson’s disease.
