About
Omar Damji is a leading researcher in pediatric neurology, with a specialized focus on the safety and therapeutic potential of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) in children. His work centers on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), exploring how these techniques can be used to modulate brain function in developing populations. Damji’s most significant contribution is a landmark prospective study demonstrating the safety and tolerability of TMS and tDCS in children, based on an unprecedented 3.5 million stimulations. This work, cited 163 times, provides crucial evidence that NIBS is well-tolerated in pediatric patients, addressing a critical gap in the field and paving the way for broader clinical applications in conditions like epilepsy, autism, and ADHD. His earlier foundational study, with 3 million stimulations, further reinforced these findings. Damji’s research has been instrumental in shifting the perception of NIBS from an experimental adult therapy to a viable, safe intervention for children, establishing a new standard for pediatric neurostimulation research.
