Alexandra Dachenhausen

Mag. Alexandra Dachenhausen is a Researcher at the University for Continuing Education Krems, affiliated with the Department for Clinical Neurosciences and Preventive Medicine. She specializes in neurology, stroke prevention, diabetes management, and cognitive decline. Her work focuses on translational research addressing post-stroke complications, metabolic disorders, and multidomain interventions to improve patient outcomes.

Key contributions include studies on botulinum toxin efficacy for neuropathic pain and spasticity, pandemic-related disruptions in neurology care, and the impact of glucose metabolism on cognitive function post-stroke. She has co-authored over 15 peer-reviewed articles in journals like Case Rep Neurol, Cardiovascular Diabetology, and International Journal of Stroke.

• Research Projects: Collaborated on projects such as the ASPIS study (multidomain interventions post-stroke), EU-funded initiatives on diabetes prevention, and analyses of stroke unit protocols to reduce pneumonia risks.
• Expertise: Botulinum toxin therapy, dysphagia screening, post-stroke cognitive decline, and lifestyle interventions in chronic disease management.
• Award Status: No specific scientific awards mentioned in the provided texts.

Her research bridges clinical neurology and public health, emphasizing evidence-based strategies to mitigate long-term complications of neurological disorders.
