About
Dr. Joohi Jimenez-Shahed is a leading neurologist whose research focuses on the clinical applications and outcomes of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson’s disease (PD). Her major contributions challenge long-held methodological norms, particularly her pivotal 2023 work arguing that DBS should no longer be an automatic exclusion criterion in PD clinical trials. By demonstrating that DBS patients represent a significant and growing population—often with advanced disease and complex motor fluctuations—she advocates for their inclusion to ensure trial results are broadly applicable. With over two decades of clinical experience, Dr. Jimenez-Shahed has helped refine DBS patient selection, management of motor fluctuations, and dyskinesia treatment. Her work has garnered substantial impact, with her most-cited papers collectively amassing hundreds of citations, reflecting her influence on movement disorder research. Notably, she has been instrumental in shaping guidelines for DBS programming and post-surgical care. Through her research, Dr. Jimenez-Shahed continues to bridge the gap between clinical practice and trial design, ensuring that the evolving PD population—including those with DBS—is accurately represented in scientific inquiry.
