Summary

This study tested two treatments for painful nerve growths (stump neuromas) that can occur after a leg amputation. 26 adults received either a steroid injection or a procedure using heat (radiofrequency ablation) guided by ultrasound. The goal was to see which treatment better reduces pain and improves daily life.
