Reliability and quality were assessed using the DISCERN instrument, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria, and the Global Quality Scale (GQS).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 300 videos (100 for each search term) were initially retrieved. After excluding duplicates, non-English, irrelevant, or very short videos, 104 unique videos were included in the study. Of the included videos, 41.3% were uploaded by physicians, 30.7% by non-physician healthcare professionals, 14.4% by medical channels, 8.7% by healthcare institutions, and 4.8% by patients. The mean DISCERN score was 35.3\u2009\u00b1\u20097.6, the mean JAMA score was 2.4\u2009\u00b1\u20090.6, and the mean GQS score was 3.5\u2009\u00b1\u20090.8, indicating generally poor to fair quality. The median (range) scores were 35.0 (17.0\u201358.0) for DISCERN, 2.0 (1.0\u20134.0) for JAMA, and 4.0 (1.0\u20135.0) for GQS. According to JAMA, 55.8% of the videos scored 2 points, reflecting low reliability, while only 2.9% achieved the maximum score of 4. In GQS, 52.9% were rated as high quality, 38.5% as moderate, and 8.6% as low. Correlation analyses showed that longer video duration was positively associated with higher DISCERN (r\u2009=\u20090.41\u20130.57, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), JAMA (r\u2009=\u20090.36, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and GQS scores (r\u2009=\u20090.35, p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most of the included YouTube videos on cervical disc herniation demonstrated low to moderate reliability.
