This paper deals with a higher-order wave equation with general nonlinear dissipation and source term
 $u''+(-Δ)^mu+g(u')=b|u|^{p-2}u,$
which was studied extensively when
 $m=1, 2$
and the nonlinear dissipative term
 $g(u')$
is a polynomial, i.e.,
 $g(u')=a|u'|^{q-2}u'$
. We obtain the global existence of solutions and show the energy decay estimate when
 $m≥1$
is a positive integer and the nonlinear dissipative term
 $g$
does not necessarily have a polynomial grow near the origin.
