Juliane Traxler

Juliane Traxler is a Researcher in the Department of Medical Psychology at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). Her work focuses on the intersection of pain psychology, behavioral neuroscience, and dermatology-related stigma. Key areas include pain avoidance behaviors in anxious individuals, self-stigmatization in chronic skin diseases, and decision-making in dermatological treatments. She has contributed to systematic reviews and intervention studies addressing stigma reduction and pain-cognition interactions.

Research Interests

• Pain-related avoidance and anxiety disorders
• Stigma in chronic illnesses (e.g., dermatology)
• Cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying pain perception
• Health literacy and patient-physician communication

Articles Overview

Her recent work spans experimental paradigms (e.g., error processing and fear conditioning) to clinical applications (e.g., shared decision-making in psoriasis). The articles emphasize interdisciplinary approaches, blending psychology, neuroscience, and healthcare interventions.

Juliane’s research also explores the Fear Avoidance Model’s therapeutic applications and the role of cognitive biases in pain modulation. Her studies often involve collaborations with dermatologists and clinicians to bridge psychological insights with patient care.
