If such interventions fail, patients are commonly offered surgery known as neurectomy, which involves removing the affected piece of nerve tissue.
13.
A brief " rehearsal " local anesthetic nerve block is usually performed before the actual neurectomy, to determine efficacy and detect side effects.
14.
In cases of M�ni�re's disease, a neurectomy may be needed when no other medical treatment is sufficient for over six months.
15.
Neurectomy is also used in equine medicine, primarily for cases of persistent lameness that is non-responsive to other forms of treatment.

Attentional filter depths from 12 subjects who underwent a vestibular neurectomy, for the same ear ( triangles ) or different ears ( crosses ).
17.
Cutting through or removal of nerves ( neurectomy ) is used in patients with short life expectancy who are unsuitable for drug therapy due to ineffectiveness or intolerance.
18.
Neurectomy involves cutting a nerve, and is ( rarely ) used in patients with short life expectancy who are unsuitable for drug therapy due to ineffectiveness or intolerance.
19.
A 60-80 % success rate has been achieved in clinical studies, equal to or exceeding the success rate for surgical neurectomy with fewer risks and less significant recovery.

In 2000, Zeng et al ., reported that vestibular neurectomy did not directly affect pure-tone thresholds or intensity discrimination, confirming earlier findings of Scharf et al . 1994; 1997.
