Cryoablation vs. Steroid and Lidocaine for Morton's Neuroma
This study is comparing two ways to treat Morton's neuroma, a painful thickening of a nerve in your foot. Researchers are looking at cryoablation (freezing the nerve) versus a nerve block with steroid and lidocaine. You might be able to join if you are over 18, have Morton's neuroma confirmed by X-ray and ultrasound, and conservative treatments like orthotics haven't worked for at least four weeks. The study aims to see which treatment better improves your quality of life, reduces pain, and improves your foot function one year after the procedure. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 32 participants.

What this trial measures
- Changes in quality of life1 year post procedure
Will be evaluated using the SF-36 Quality of Life Survey
- Réponse in pain1 year post procedure
Will be evaluated using the visual analog scale with 0 as no pain and 10 as the word pain imaginable
- Changes to function1 year post procedure
Changes to the modified American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Hallux Metatarsophalangeal--Interphalangeal Scale, higher score is less symptomatic
- Changes pain and function due to neuroma1 year post procedure
Changes in Neuroma Scale, higher score is less symptomatic
- Incidence of Treatment - Emergent Adverse Events1 year post procedure
