Percutaneous alcoholization with phenol by electrostimulation guidance for the treatment of Morton's neuroma is proposed to determine a permanent chemical neurolysis.
115 patients for 125 Morton's neuromas were treated. Ten patients were affected by multiple neuromas. Visual Analogue Scale and AOFAS score were used for the clinical assessment.
The mean follow-up was 8,3 years. The pre-alcoholization VAS was 85.84 ± 12.00, while at follow-up scored 28.85 ± 31.35, showing a significant decrease improving in 113/125 cases (90.4%). Treatment was considered successful with a reduction of the VAS value superior to 50% in 89 out of 125 patients (71.2%). The mean overall AOFAS score at -up was 85.09 ± 13.41.
Needle-electrode guided percutaneous alcoholization is an outpatient, minimally invasive procedure with low rate of complications. Better results of those obtained with traditional conservative treatments and comparable with those reported with other alcohols injections or surgical nerve excision were observed.

提出通过电刺激引导经皮注射苯酚酒精来治疗 Morton 神经瘤，以确定永久性化学神经溶解。
对 115 例患者的 125 个 Morton 神经瘤进行了治疗。10 例患者患有多个神经瘤。采用视觉模拟评分法和美国足踝外科协会（AOFAS）评分进行临床评估。
平均随访时间为 8.3 年。注射酒精前视觉模拟评分（VAS）为 85.84±12.00，随访时为 28.85±31.35，113/125 例（90.4%）有显著下降改善。125 例患者中有 89 例（71.2%）VAS 值降低超过 50%，治疗被认为成功。随访时 AOFAS 总分平均为 85.09±13.41。
针电极引导下经皮酒精注射是一种门诊、微创的手术，并发症发生率低。观察到其效果优于传统保守治疗，与其他酒精注射或手术神经切除报道的效果相当。
IV 级，回顾性病例系列。
