Efficacy of Ultrasound-Guided Steroid Injections in the Management of Morton’s Neuroma: A Retrospective Cohort Study

US-guided corticosteroid injections are safe, effective and reasonable treatment choices for Morton's neuroma, with variable durations of relief. No complications were observed in our study group following the intervention. Further research using a larger patient cohort is needed. This is to determine whether there are any associations between the efficacy of pain reduction in female patients and that in male patients. It will also assess whether neuroma size may be related to corticosteroid treatment response and highlight those who may benefit from earlier surgery.

Abstract

US-guided corticosteroid injections are safe, effective and reasonable treatment choices for Morton's neuroma, with variable durations of relief. No complications were observed in our study group following the intervention. Further research using a larger patient cohort is needed. This is to determine whether there are any associations between the efficacy of pain reduction in female patients and that in male patients. It will also assess whether neuroma size may be related to corticosteroid treatment response and highlight those who may benefit from earlier surgery.
