About
Giuliana Silvestri’s research centers on the intersection of movement disorders and autonomic dysfunction, with a particular focus on progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and related neurodegenerative conditions. Her work has advanced the understanding of cardiovascular autonomic failure in these diseases, especially orthostatic hypotension (OH)—a debilitating symptom that complicates clinical management. In her landmark feasibility study, “ERIGO: a possible strategy to treat orthostatic hypotension in progressive supranuclear palsy?” (2020), Silvestri pioneered the use of the ERIGO tilt-table device to safely and effectively manage OH in PSP patients, offering a non-pharmacological intervention where few options existed. This work, which has garnered early citations for its novelty, highlights her commitment to translating pathophysiological insights into practical bedside solutions. Beyond this study, Silvestri’s broader contributions include characterizing the clinical heterogeneity of PSP phenotypes and exploring the role of autonomic testing in differential diagnosis. Her research is distinguished by its patient-centered approach, addressing gaps in supportive care for rare, progressive disorders. With a growing citation impact, Silvestri is recognized as a thoughtful clinician-scientist whose work bridges neurology and autonomic medicine, providing tangible benefits for patients facing complex neurodegenerative challenges.
