Focused radiation for bone metastases causing pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
This trial is testing a very precise radiation technique called SBRT for tumors that have spread to the spine. It aims to see if this approach can treat the tumor effectively while reducing side effects.
This trial studies a type of focused radiation given in smaller parts to treat bone metastases from breast cancer. It may help shrink tumors and improve control of pain or growth when standard treatments haven’t worked or surgery isn’t possible.
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 two different radiation therapy schedules to see which better relieves pain from cancer that has spread to the bones. It aims to improve quality of life with fewer side effects.
