Chronic fatigue syndrome is a common problem in society. The treatment of this problem is limited. Acupressure is a treatment method that has become widespread and promising in recent years. For this purpose, the effect of acupressure treatment on chronic fatigue syndrome was investigated.

In our study, individuals participating in the study will be randomized by the physiotherapist who has received the training of acupressure therapy.
