Spinal radiation for bone pain from cancer
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests a specific type of radiation therapy for bone pain caused by cancer that has spread to the spine. It aims to improve pain relief and quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have bone pain from cancer that has spread to your spine (neck, mid-back, lower back, or sacrum).
- Your pain level is at least 5 out of 10 (moderate to severe).
- You have been taking pain medications for at least 7 days or cannot tolerate them.
- You are receiving radiation therapy to relieve pain, with a specific dose plan.
- You are an adult (not a child).

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 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 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 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 higher dose of radiation (a boost) to painful spots in the spine where cancer has spread. The goal is to see if it can better relieve pain and improve function.
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.
