Dr. Hansen's publication record shows consistent output from 2016-2024, with 18 publications including journal articles, conference abstracts, and books. Her recent work demonstrates a clear focus on systematic reviews of inflammatory markers in functional disorders (2024), nationwide cohort studies of functional seizures (2023), and lithium-induced hypercalcemia (2022). A significant portion of her work involves developing educational materials for patients, including a notable comic book series designed to help children understand functional seizures.

Dr. Hansen has made significant contributions to destigmatizing functional seizures through innovative educational approaches, including comics and digital resources. Her work has generated cultural impact through media coverage and social media engagement, with one project 'Afstigmatisering af funktionelle kramper med tegneserie' (Destigmatization of functional seizures with comics) reaching 24 readers on Mendeley and being shared by 9 X users.
