Surgical interventions for degenerative cervical disease: Impact on patient quality of life, mental health, pain relief, and spiritual health

Surgical intervention for degenerative cervical diseases significantly improves patients' QOL, mental health, and pain-related disability, but the impact on spiritual well-being is limited. This suggests that postoperative care should adopt a more holistic approach, integrating mental and spiritual support. Future research should include a more diverse sample, longer follow-up periods, and a combination of subjective and objective measures for a comprehensive assessment of outcomes.
