      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: We made 60 cards and write letters MA on 30 for macroscopy and on the other 30 letters MI for the microscopy group. Then put them inside the envelope with aluminum wrap and put in a box. At the time of patient arrival, randomly select one of the envelopes and open it, based on selected letter ( MA or MI) patients assign it to the macroscopy or microscopy discectomy , Blinding description: The person who will assess the pain score and other outcomes of the surgery will be blinded of the surgical procedure.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>cervical disc.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: They will undergo macroscopic surgery.In the macroscopic method, the cervical spine is accessed through the front. The skin and platysma muscle will be opened and the vertebral column is accessed from the space between the sternocleidomastoid on the side and the mid-cervical structures (trachea and esophagus) in the middle. In this method, the entire injured  disc and the osteophytes will be removed, and a bone graft is placed in the space of the removed disc. Intervention 2: Control group: They will undergo microscopic surgery.  In this procedure, first, a small incision is made at the back of the neck (midline). By removing the muscle, access to the desired vertebra will be provided. In order to ensure the exact location of the surgery, an X-ray is performed before removing the disc. Then, in order to determine the root of the nerve, a part of the facet joint is removed, finally, using a microscope, the disc under the root is identified and the herniated disc is removed. The nerve root will be returned. The muscles will move back and the incision will be sutured.</i_freetext>
