 Material Method: Patients with clinical compatible CTS were included retrospective study. Median nerve compound muscle action potential (CMAP) (CNAP) of patients analyzed. The Turkish version Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) administered all patients. mean FSS score ≥4 considered have fatigue. addition, Leeds Assessment Neuropathic Symptoms Signs (LANSS) applied some If LANSS 12 or higher, these pain.
 Results: Thirty-two female eight male had clinically bilateral right-sided CTS. 40 18 patients, respectively. There 29 (72.5%) an ≥ 4. CNAP/CMAP amplitudes sensory/motor conduction velocities fatigue lower than those without (p
