Test adding cement injection to SBRT for spine pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cancer that has spread to the spine bone (from T5 to L5)
- Your spine pain from the metastases is at least 4 out of 10
- Your overall function is good enough (Karnofsky score over 60, or ECOG 0–2)
- Your imaging and doctors say you are a candidate for SBRT radiation, and only up to 2–3 spine levels are involved
- Your lesion is considered possibly unstable (spinal instability score is 7 or higher)
- You can fill out follow-up questionnaires about pain, pain medicines, and quality of life

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies a precise type of radiation given in multiple small sessions to treat bone metastases that are causing pain. It may help shrink or control the spots in the bone while aiming to reduce side effects by targeting the area closely.
This trial tests a stronger, carefully measured form of radiation aimed at a small number of spots where cancer has spread to the spine. It may help control pain and tumor growth while protecting the spinal cord.
This study tests whether radiation given after limited surgery helps control cancer that has spread to a small area of the spine. It may help reduce tumor growth in the treated spine area and improve local control after operation.
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.
This study tests whether adding a precise type of radiation (called SBRT) to a procedure that stabilizes the spine or shrinks the tumor (radiofrequency ablation or vertebroplasty) can better reduce pain from cancer that has spread to the spine. It might help people whose pain is not controlled by usual treatments.
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.
