Satu Jääskeläinen

Satu Jääskeläinen is a Professor in Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Turku, Finland, specializing in neurophysiological diagnostics and therapeutic neuromodulation. Her work bridges clinical neurology, pain medicine, and sensory disorder research within the Department of Clinical Neurosciences.

Her research portfolio emphasizes:

• Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS): Investigating motor cortex excitability, cognitive impacts, and TMS-based interventions
• Neuromodulation Therapies: Developing navigated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation protocols for somatic-psychiatric comorbidities
• Sensory Neurophysiology: Analyzing blink reflex pathophysiology, burning mouth syndrome, and taste perception mechanisms
• Diagnostic Electrophysiology: Optimizing ENMG applications and neonatal auditory assessments

Recent publications (2023-2025) reveal consistent translational focus across neurology and psychiatry, with significant contributions to international clinical neurophysiology standards. Key trends include TMS protocol innovation for complex conditions, CRPS pathophysiological characterization, and sensory disorder diagnostics - demonstrating integration of laboratory neurophysiology with clinical pain management and neurological care.
