MR-guided ultrasound vs radiofrequency heat for osteoid osteoma pain
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial compares two non-surgical treatments that heat a small bone tumor to stop pain: MR-guided focused ultrasound and radiofrequency heat. It aims to find which option works better and has fewer problems for people whose osteoid osteoma pain is not well controlled.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 8 or older
- A specialist agrees you have osteoid osteoma based on your symptoms and scans
- Your pain from the osteoid osteoma limits daily life and isn’t controlled well with pain medicines
- You have not had any past interventional treatment for this osteoid osteoma
- Your doctors must be able to safely reach the tumor site with the ultrasound device or the heat treatment, and it must be more than 1 cm from the skin
- You must be able to have an MRI (and anesthesia/sedation) safely, including having no non-MRI-safe metal implants

This trial compares two ways (ultrasound or X-ray guidance) to place a treatment for painful knee arthritis. It aims to see whether one guidance method works as well as the other for reducing knee pain.
This trial compares two types of radiation therapy to relieve pain from cancer that has spread to the bones. It aims to see whether a more targeted, high-dose approach (SBRT) works better than standard palliative radiation.
This trial studies whether a targeted, ultrasound-guided “pulsed” radiofrequency treatment can reduce long-lasting knee pain from osteoarthritis. It may help if your knee pain is not improving with common medicines and injections.
This trial studies whether low-dose radiation can reduce pain from a specific bone lesion caused by multiple myeloma. It may help people whose main problem is painful bone metastasis, with targeted treatment to the painful spot.
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy using MRI imaging and ultrasound to make the radiation more targeted and potentially safer. If you have chest-wall or breast cancer and are already scheduled for radiation, this approach might offer a more precise treatment option.
This study tests whether a procedure that uses focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) and/or a radiofrequency nerve treatment can reduce long-lasting low back pain caused by facet-joint arthritis. It may help people whose pain improves strongly after a targeted numbing injection to specific back nerves.
