Cryoablation vs steroid injection for Morton’s neuroma pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to treat Morton’s neuroma pain: freezing treatment (cryoablation) versus steroid plus lidocaine injections. It may help people who didn’t improve after trying basic shoe inserts or padding, by seeing which approach works better for symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years
- You can sign consent and complete questionnaires
- You tried conservative treatments for at least 4 weeks (like shoe inserts/orthotics and/or padding) but still have symptoms
- Your foot scans (X-ray and ultrasound) show a Morton’s neuroma and don’t show another cause for your pain
- You are able and willing to return for follow-up visits and follow the study plan

This trial tests two types of nerve-freezing procedures to treat chronic pain in amputated limbs from combat injuries. The goal is to reduce your pain using a minimally invasive technique called cryoablation.
This study tests a procedure to treat pain from nerve damage (neuroma) after a combat injury. It aims to help people with moderate to severe pain that comes from a specific nerve.
This study tests whether a numbing nerve block (injection) can predict if a procedure called cryoneurolysis (freezing a nerve to relieve pain) will work for people with chronic muscle or joint pain or spasticity. It may help you if you have long-lasting pain or muscle tightness.
This study compares two procedures to treat long-term low back pain from the small joints in your spine. One uses extreme cold, the other uses heat to stop pain signals. It may help if you have had at least three months of back pain and other treatments haven't worked.
This trial compares a freezing procedure (cryoneurotomy) with standard surgery to treat foot stiffness after a stroke. It aims to see which method better corrects the foot turning inward and downward, helping you walk more easily.
This trial studies an MRI-guided procedure that “freezes” targeted nerves or joints to reduce pain in the head, neck, or spine. It may help if your pain comes from a joint problem or a compressed/damaged nerve and you can safely have MRI scans before and after the treatment.
