Low-dose radiation to relieve pain from bone tumors
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a confirmed diagnosis of multiple myeloma (based on a tissue/pathology test).
- You have one specific painful bone lesion that shows up on scans (and is your main pain target).
- Your pain is at least “moderate” on a pain questionnaire (Brief Pain Inventory score 2 or higher).
- Your daily functioning is fairly good (ECOG 0–2), and you can understand and sign consent.
- That painful bone spot has not had radiation before, and it has not had palliative surgery before.
- You cannot be pregnant, and you don’t have a dangerous spine situation (spinal cord/cauda equina pressure), and the lesion isn’t at the skull base/orbit, or at a place needing urgent bone stabilization/surgery.

This study looks at combining two treatments for painful bone tumors that have spread from other cancers. It tests if using both treatments together provides better pain relief than either alone.
This trial is testing whether a single dose of radiation can effectively relieve bone pain caused by multiple myeloma. It is designed for people who have a painful bone lesion and are stable on or off treatment.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a stronger (higher-dose) radiation plan can better reduce pain from tumors that have spread to bone or other areas. It’s meant to help people live more comfortably by targeting painful spots while avoiding certain high-risk situations.
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 compares two types of radiation therapy—standard palliative radiation and a more targeted high-dose treatment (SBRT)—to see which better relieves pain from bone metastases that have spread outside the spine. It is for people with solid tumors who have a painful bone spot and are expected to live at least 6 months.
This trial tests a single session of radiation therapy to relieve pain and improve stability in up to two bone spots where cancer has spread. The goal is to make treatment faster and more convenient for patients.
