Radiation plus bone cement for painful spinal metastasis pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests adding a bone-cement procedure (vertebroplasty) along with radiation to reduce pain from cancer that has spread to the spine. It is for adults with painful metastatic (spread) tumors in the middle or lower spine, without current spinal cord pressure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older, and you can sign consent (or a legal decision-maker can).
- Your spine cancer spread has been confirmed on CT, MRI, or a bone scan.
- Your pain in the middle (thoracic) or lower (lumbar) spine is significant (pain score at least 2/10).
- You can travel for scheduled visits and follow the treatment plan; no other issues prevent follow-up.
- Your expected survival is more than 6 months, based on the study doctor’s judgment and a prediction tool.
- You have no blockage/pressure on the spinal cord or warning signs of an impending spinal cord problem.

This trial tests whether adding precise radiation to a procedure that uses heat and bone cement can better relieve pain from cancer that has spread to the spine. It is for people with one or two painful spots in the middle to lower back.
This study compares two different radiation approaches—SBRT and CRT—for people with painful cancer that has spread to the spine. It may help determine which plan controls pain and tumor growth while limiting side effects to nearby organs.
This study looks at whether treating certain spine tumors with a cement procedure (vertebroplasty) plus focused radiation can control the cancer and improve quality of life. It is for adults with spine metastases that are not clearly defined and meet specific stability and imaging needs.
This study tests whether adding a vertebroplasty procedure (a cement injection to stabilize a spine bone) to standard SBRT radiation can reduce pain from spinal metastases. It may help people with painful, possibly unstable spine lesions by improving early pain relief.
This trial tests a specific type of radiation therapy for bone pain caused by cancer that has spread to the spine. It aims to improve pain relief and quality of life.
This trial tests a focused form of radiation (stereotactic body radiation) to treat cancer spread to the spine, especially when it causes substantial pain. It may help shrink or control the spinal spots while limiting damage to surrounding tissues.
