Bone pain study combining ablation and radiation
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at combining two treatments for painful bone tumors that have spread from other cancers. It tests if using both treatments together provides better pain relief than either alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have pain from a bone tumor that is at least a 5 out of 10 on a pain scale, even with medication.
- The main painful tumor is in a bone and can be treated with both ablation and radiation.
- You have not had radiation or ablation to this specific tumor before.
- You are age 21 or older and have an estimated life expectancy of more than 3 months.
- You are able to fill out questionnaires about your pain and quality of life for up to 12 months.

This trial tests a treatment that uses heat to destroy active spine tumors from cancer that has spread, followed by stabilizing the bone. It aims to see if the treatment works by using a special scan (PET-CT) to confirm the results.
This trial studies whether low-dose radiation can reduce pain from a specific bone lesion caused by multiple myeloma. It may help people whose main problem is painful bone metastasis, with targeted treatment to the painful spot.
This trial uses a special PET scan to guide radiation therapy for painful spots where cancer has spread to the bone. The goal is to treat the pain more precisely and see if this image-guided approach works well.
This study compares two treatments for cancer that has spread to the spine. One group receives radiofrequency ablation (a heat-based treatment to destroy tumor cells) plus bone strengthening, followed by radiation. The other group receives radiation alone. The goal is to see which approach better controls pain and prevents spine problems.
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 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.
