Percutaneous image-guided cryoablation of peripheral neuroma for chronic pain

1.1 Evidence on the safety and efficacy of percutaneous image-guided cryoablation of peripheral neuroma for chronic pain is inadequate in quality and quantity. Therefore, this procedure should only be used in the context of research. Find out what only in research means on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.

1.2 For Morton's neuroma, further research should preferably be in the form of randomised controlled trials and should report details of patient selection and the procedure, quality of life and pain reduction in the short and long term. For stump and other traumatic neuromas, further research could be in the form of case series.
