About
Patrizia Calatozzo is a clinical researcher whose work bridges neurology, neuropsychology, and rehabilitation, with a focus on multiple sclerosis (MS) and disorders of body perception. Her most cited study (19 citations) investigates the link between dyslipidemia and cognitive impairment in MS patients, revealing how metabolic factors may exacerbate cognitive decline—a critical insight for early intervention. She further explores cognitive rehabilitation outcomes in MS, highlighting the often-overlooked role of personality traits in treatment efficacy (8 citations). In a compelling single-case pilot study (6 citations), Calatozzo addresses somatoparaphrenia with misoplegia, a rare condition where patients deny ownership of a paralyzed limb and express hatred toward it. Her rehabilitation approach, which successfully improved body awareness without requiring anosognosia, offers novel therapeutic pathways for neuropsychological disorders. Calatozzo’s work is notable for its translational impact, directly informing clinical strategies that enhance quality of life in neurological populations. Her growing citation record underscores her contributions to understanding the interplay between systemic health, cognition, and body representation—making her a rising voice in neurorehabilitation research.
