Hanne Albert is a renowned Danish researcher and professor known for her pioneering work in the field of back pain and Modic changes. Her research has significantly contributed to the understanding and treatment of chronic back pain, particularly in relation to bacterial infections and inflammation.
Early Life and Education[edit | edit source]
Hanne Albert was born in Denmark. She pursued her higher education in the field of medical sciences, focusing on physiotherapy and later specializing in research related to back pain. Her academic journey led her to the University of Southern Denmark, where she has been a prominent figure in medical research.
Research and Contributions[edit | edit source]
Hanne Albert's most notable contribution to medical science is her research on Modic changes, which are changes in the vertebrae of the spine visible on MRI scans. These changes are associated with chronic back pain and have been a subject of extensive study.
Modic Changes[edit | edit source]
Modic changes are classified into three types based on MRI findings:
- Type 1: Inflammatory changes, often associated with pain.
- Type 2: Fatty changes, indicating chronicity.
- Type 3: Sclerotic changes, representing advanced degeneration.
Albert's research has shown that Type 1 Modic changes are often linked to low-grade bacterial infections, particularly with Propionibacterium acnes. Her work suggests that antibiotic treatment can be effective in reducing pain and inflammation in patients with these changes.
Clinical Trials[edit | edit source]
Albert has conducted several clinical trials to test the efficacy of antibiotic treatment for patients with chronic low back pain and Modic changes. Her studies have demonstrated significant improvements in pain and disability scores among patients receiving targeted antibiotic therapy.

Her research has challenged traditional views and opened new avenues for treatment, emphasizing the role of bacterial infections in spinal disorders. She has received numerous awards and recognition for her contributions to medical science.
