MRI-guided ultrasound to treat painful bone tumors
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This feasibility study tests an MRI-guided focused ultrasound treatment for certain painful bone tumors, including bone metastases and osteoid osteoma. The goal is to see if the treatment can be safely delivered to the right spot and help with pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one or more painful bone metastases, or an osteoid osteoma
- Your pain is significant (EVA score 5 or higher)
- The tumor/lesion area must be reachable by the ultrasound while using MRI guidance
- The lesion must be small enough (up to 20 square centimeters) and at a workable depth (about 4 mm to 10 cm)
- Your body weight is under 140 kg
- You can safely have MRI with contrast if needed, and you can give informed consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This trial tests a focused ultrasound treatment called ArcBlate to relieve pain from bone cancer that has spread. It is for people who have moderate to severe pain despite cancer therapy and have chosen not to have surgery or radiation for that pain.
This study tests a non-invasive ultrasound device to treat pain from bone cancer that has spread. It is for people who were in a previous study and did not get the active treatment.
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 trial tests a non-invasive ultrasound technique guided by MRI scans to treat epilepsy that doesn't respond to medications. It's designed for patients who can't or don't want brain surgery.
This study tests whether a focused ultrasound treatment is safe for children and young adults who have a non-cancerous (benign) tumor in the center of the brain. It mainly checks safety, and it also includes monitoring before and during treatment to reduce risks like bleeding or imaging-related problems.
