Purpose of the study: This study aimed to examine the functional outcome of adding cervical mobilization to patients with double crush syndrome. Methods: 30 female patients were assessed pre-treatment and post-treatment by VAS & Nine Hole Peg Test. They were divided into two groups: The control group received a standard physical therapy program of nerve glide, hand strengthening exercise and mobilization and the study group that received a cervical mobilization in addition to the standard physical therapy program for 12 sessions. Results: The study group showed improvement in pain scale and Nine Hole Peg Test parameters in comparison with the control group.
