The study aimed to evaluate if surgical intervention in patients with degenerative cervical diseases improves quality of life (QOL), lowers pain-induced mental impairment, improves psychologic health, and promotes spiritual well-being.

Degenerative cervical disease induces cervical radiculopathy and myelopathy, which have a significant impact on the patients' health. The study aimed to evaluate if surgical intervention in patients with degenerative cervical diseases improves quality of life (QOL), lowers pain-induced mental impairment, improves psychologic health, and promotes spiritual well-being.

Inclusion Criteria:
