Can gabapentin be used to treat a morton's neuroma?

Neuroma: The symptoms of a neuroma are similar to neuropathy, and Gabapentin is used off-label for neuropathic pain the foot. Although it can be used, it doesn't address the cause of the neuroma (biomechanics, foot structure, etc).

Neuroma: Gabapentin or Neurontin (gabapentin) may help a little but must find exact cause. Often a cortisone injection or padding ma be enough keep symptoms away. See podiatric physician.

Although, : Gabapentin is used to treat neuropathic conditions I have never heard of it being used for a morton's neuroma. Nor would i ever prescribe it for such. A morton's neuroma is a compression neuropathy. Relieve the pressure on the nerve and the symptoms goes away.
