Overview

Valérie Fraix is affiliated with Grenoble Alpes University in France and has a robust academic profile concentrated in medicine, particularly within neurology. Their research portfolio comprises 115 publications, predominantly in neurology with 113 papers, and additional contributions to cellular and molecular neuroscience, psychiatry and mental health, clinical psychology, and cognitive neuroscience.

Their research is primarily centered on neurological disorders and treatments, with a significant focus on Parkinson's Disease mechanisms and treatments. Other notable topic areas include botulinum toxin and related neurological disorders, transcranial magnetic stimulation studies, genetic neurodegenerative diseases, Parkinson's Disease and spinal disorders, and obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders.

Valérie Fraix's recent papers reflect this focus, containing studies published in recognized journals:

  • "Long-term Outcomes (15 Years) After Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation in Patients With Parkinson Disease", 2021, Neurology
  • "Predictors of Long-Term Outcome of Subthalamic Stimulation in Parkinson Disease", 2020, Annals of Neurology
  • "Dementia and subthalamic deep brain stimulation in Parkinson disease", 2020, Neurology
  • "Axial impairment and falls in Parkinson's disease: 15 years of subthalamic deep brain stimulation", 2022, npj Parkinson's Disease
  • "A randomized controlled double-blind study of rotigotine on neuropsychiatric symptoms in de novo PD", 2020, npj Parkinson's Disease

The scientist collaborates frequently with several co-authors, each having contributed significantly to joint research efforts. These co-authors include Elena Moro, Anna Castrioto, Sara Meoni, Emmanuelle Schmitt, and Pierre Pélissier.

Fraix's work is disseminated mainly through publication venues such as:

  • npj Parkinson's Disease
  • Journal of Parkinson's Disease
  • Journal of Neurology
  • European Journal of Neurology
  • Scientific Reports
