Clinical Trial

Ultrasound-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation Versus Steroid Injection for Stump Neuroma

Completed
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
This prospective clinical study aims to compare the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation and ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection in individuals with symptomatic stump neuroma following lower extremity amputation. Stump neuroma is a common cause of residual limb pain and may significantly impair mobility and quality of life. Participants undergoing either treatment will be evaluated prospectively. Pain intensity, neuropathic pain characteristics, functional mobility, socket comfort, sleep quality, and neuroma size measured by ultrasound will be assessed during follow-up. The study seeks to provide clinical evidence regarding the comparative clinical and radiological outcomes of these two treatment approaches.
