The first article is "Spectral Clustering Reveals Different Profiles of Central Sensitization in Women with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)" [1]. CTS is considered to be one of the most prevalent entrapment neuropathies of the upper extremities. The most common symptoms experienced by CTS patients are sensory disturbances, such as pain, numbness, tingling, and/or paresthesia in areas innervated by the median nerve. This physical condition relates to unemployment and creates substantial health care costs, as well as an economic burden to the concern families. It is estimated that CTS has a lifetime prevalence of 3.1% and an incidence rate of 1.73 per 1000 person-year in the general population; however, the prevalence can reach 10% in middle-aged workers [2,3,4,5].
