Cervical pain is a common complication post maxillofacial surgeries ranging from weeks to months. Purpose: to evaluate combined effect of ultrasound and manual therapy on cervical pain after maxillofacial surgeries in patients who had maxillofacial surgeries and had cervical pain. Methods: - forty five (23 males and 22 females) patients with cervical pain after maxillofacial surgeries were randomly divided into three equal group3. Group (A) received Ultrasound addition to Manual Therapy. Group (B) received Manual Therapy only. Group(C) received only Ultrasound treatment. Results: - The result showed that there was a significant decrease in cervical pain and a significant increase in cervical ROM using Manual Therapy combined with Ultrasound better than Manual Therapy or Ultrasound only. Conclusion: Both types (Manual Therapy and Ultrasound) are effective in deceasing cervical pain after maxillofacial surgeries that is reflected by decreasing cervical pain and increasing cervical ROM.
