Radiosurgery for chronic chest or stomach wall pain
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a precise, one-time radiation treatment (stereotactic radiosurgery) can relieve long-term pain in the chest or stomach wall. It may be an option for people whose pain is not well controlled with standard pain medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had pain in the chest or stomach wall for 3 months or more.
- Your pain is coming from one to three nerve levels on one side of your body (diagnosed with a nerve block or TENS unit).
- Your pain is still moderate to severe (score 4 or higher on a 0–10 scale) despite trying standard pain medicines.
- You are 18 years or older and able to care for yourself most days (Karnofsky score 60% or more).
- You are not expected to need chemotherapy within 5 days before or after the radiosurgery.

This Phase 2 study tests a precise radiation treatment (spine SBRT, also called radiosurgery) to reduce pain from cancer that has spread to the spine. It focuses on people with stable spine structure and low pain at the start, to see how well the treatment works and stays safe.
This trial tests whether a focused radiation treatment called SRS (stereotactic radiosurgery) can help relieve severe cancer pain that hasn't improved with strong pain medications. You would receive a one-time radiation procedure aimed at pain-causing areas in your brain.
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.
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 trial studies how safe and effective a type of focused radiation called SBRT is for cancer tumors in certain chest locations. It’s meant for people whose tumor is small (up to 5 cm) and who don’t have widespread, uncontrolled spread.
This trial tests a type of radiation therapy (SBRT) to treat severe stomach pain caused by cancer pressing on nerves near the stomach. It aims to provide pain relief without the need for a standard nerve block procedure.
