The case under discussion is that of a 69 years old woman, who has suffered from saphenus nerve neuralgia for about one and a half years. This illness has proved resistant to all the therapeutic treatments she has undergone. The case has been solved in just one session of a rarely used technique, not even well-documented in literature: the injection of local anaesthetic into some auricular points. After about 1 month of significant aggravation, the pain has disappeared and it has never reappeared throughout the 1-year follow up. The new denomination suggested for this technique is neural-auriculotherapy, which well summarizes the therapeutic branches from which it stems. Viene qui discusso il caso di una signoradi 69 anni, da circa 1 anno e mezzosofferente di una nevralgia del nervosafeno destro, resistente a tutti gliinterventi terapeutici effettuati.Il caso è stato risolto mediante un’unicaseduta di una tecnica poco usata escarsamente documentata in letteratura,l’infiltrazione di alcuni punti auricolaricon anestetici locali.La scomparsa del dolore è avvenuta dopocirca 1 mese di netto peggioramento,e si è mantenuta per tutta la duratadel follow-up, di 1 anno. Viene proposta per questa tecnicauna nuova denominazione, neural-auricoloterapia, che sembra bene sintetizzare le branche terapeutichedalle quali deriva.
