Abstract:
Morton's neuroma is a prevalent cause of forefoot pain, often proving refractory to conventional conservative treatments. This case report describes a 25-year-old female nurse presenting with debilitating Morton's neuroma located in the second intermetatarsal space, who had not responded to prior conservative therapies. The patient underwent ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment. Following the procedure, she experienced significant pain reduction, with her visual analog scale (VAS) score improving from 9/10 to 1/10. This case underscores the clinical efficacy of PRF as a safe, minimally invasive, and effective therapeutic option for patients suffering from refractory Morton's neuroma, suggesting its valuable role within the comprehensive management algorithm for this condition.
