About
Bizhan Aarabi is a leading figure in spinal cord injury research, with a particular focus on degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) and its surgical management. His work bridges critical gaps between operative intervention and long-term patient recovery, as exemplified by his highly cited 2022 narrative review on peri-operative rehabilitation for DCM—a topic identified as a top research priority by the AO Spine RECODE-DCM initiative. With over 26 citations, this paper highlights his advocacy for integrating structured rehabilitation protocols into the surgical care pathway, an area he argues remains underexplored despite its potential to improve outcomes for patients with moderate to severe myelopathy. Dr. Aarabi’s contributions extend beyond clinical practice; he has been instrumental in shaping global research agendas and evidence-based guidelines for spinal cord disorders. His work consistently emphasizes the need for multidisciplinary approaches, combining neurosurgery, physiatry, and rehabilitation science. Through his publications and leadership, he has influenced how clinicians and researchers conceptualize recovery after spinal cord injury, making him a pivotal voice in the field.
