Biography

Barbara is a physiotherapist (B.Sci.) and health scientist (focus: digital health, M.Sci.) with a particular interest in digital treatment options for pain management and health behaviour change in the context of exercise and sport. She completed her bachelor's (2021) and master's degrees (2025) at the University of Lübeck, focusing her research on pain modulation and exercise-induced pain modulation for neuropathic pain. As a research assistant, she evaluated the implementation and the effects of a lifestyle management app for patients with multiple sclerosis at the Institute for Neuroimmunology and Multiple Sclerosis at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf. Since January 2026, she has been working on the development of an mHealth intervention for the prevention and management of training-induced pain in musicians at the Institute for Music Physiology and Music Medicine, with a particular focus on exercise.
