About
Roberta Scalise is a leading figure in pediatric neurosurgery, with a specialized focus on the application of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for movement disorders. Her most significant contribution is in the treatment of post-traumatic tremor in children, a challenging condition with limited therapeutic options. Her landmark multicentre study, "Unilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of nucleus ventralis intermedius thalami (Vim) for the treatment of post-traumatic tremor in children," demonstrated the safety and efficacy of this targeted neuromodulation approach. This work, already cited 2 times, provides critical evidence for a novel, life-changing intervention in a vulnerable pediatric population. Scalise’s research bridges the gap between adult DBS protocols and the unique neurodevelopmental needs of children, establishing her as a pioneer in pediatric functional neurosurgery. Her efforts are not only advancing clinical practice but also setting the stage for future trials and broader applications of DBS in young patients with severe tremor.
