AbstractIn 10 patients with intractable pain from neuromas that developed after amputations or other surgery, 20 neuromas were treated with neurolytic blockade. In all cases surgical treatment had been unsuccessful. The blockades were performed with phenol-glycerol. Nine patients became asymptomatic, with no relapse occurring thus far during an observation period of 8-22 months. In 1 patient with 3 neuromas, only one neuroma was completely asymptomatic after a single blockade. This treatment may offer an alternative when surgical treatment has not been successful.
