Kurul-2022-20\/32 and recorded retrospectively between January 2021 and January 2023. 201 female patients who were diagnosed with FMS in Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation polyclinic and who were requested to have ENMG testing with a preliminary diagnosis of CTS were included in study as patient group. 201 patients were \u0131ncluded as control group.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: While the number of patients with right CTS was 39 (25.49%) in the FMS group, the number of patients with right CTS was 38 (24.20%) in control group.
