Area of Science:

Neurology
Diagnostic Methods

Background:

Morton neuroma (MN) is a common cause of interdigital neuropathy.
Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a simple and rapid electrodiagnostic method for confirming Morton neuroma.
To evaluate the efficacy of this method in patients with suspected MN.

Main Methods:

Surface electrodes were used to stimulate interdigital nerves II-III and III-IV.
Nerve responses were recorded, and data from 20 healthy controls and 14 MN patients were analyzed.

Main Results:

The electrodiagnostic method demonstrated an abnormality detection rate between 57.1% and 71.4% in MN patients.
Abnormalities were identified in amplitude, peak latency, and interside differences.

Conclusions:

While clinical evaluation and imaging are primary diagnostic tools for MN, electrophysiological studies offer valuable supplementary information.
This electrodiagnostic approach can assist in diagnosing Morton neuroma in select patient cases.
