All Double Crush Syndrome patients were assessed via VAS, BCTQ & Nerve conduction study before and after the treatment program.
The patients were classified randomly into two groups, the control group received a standard physical therapy program of nerve glide, hand strengthening exercise and mobilization and the study group they received a cervical mobilization in addition to the standard physical therapy program for 12 sessions.

| Cervical Mobilization | Other | The technique is used to mobilize a specific cervical or upper thoracic segment (C2-C3 through T3-T4) in a posterior to anterior direction. The therapist gently applies pressure in an anteroposterior direction in the plane of the facet joint to assess mobility, resistance, end feel, and pain provocation. Gentle oscillations can be used to either inhibit pain (grades I and II) or restore motion (grades III and IV). Slight variations in depth and direction of force can be used to optimize the therapeutic effects of this technique. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Visual analogue scale | Used to assess degree of pain | 4 weeks |
| Boston carpal tunnel syndrome questionnaire | Used to assess patients' functional ability and symptoms severity | 4 weeks |
| Nerve conduction study | Used to assess sensory and motor fibers of median nerve to determine the improvement in nerve capacity and hand function | 4 weeks |
