NSAIDs to prevent bone pain flares after radiotherapy
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if a common anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) can reduce sudden increases in bone pain after radiation treatment for cancer that has spread to the bones. You may be eligible if you have solid tumors with painful bone metastases and are not already taking steroids or NSAIDs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a solid tumor that has spread to your bones (bone metastases)
- Your bone pain is not complicated by a fracture or nerve problems
- You have at least mild pain (score 2 or more out of 10)
- You are on a steady dose of painkillers (narcotics) that has not changed recently
- You are not currently taking steroids or NSAIDs, and you do not have conditions that make NSAIDs unsafe for you

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.
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.
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 tests a new pain management plan for people having spinal fusion surgery on their lower back. It aims to find the best way to control pain while reducing side effects.
This trial tests whether giving radiation therapy to bones that have cancer spread—but are not yet causing pain or emergencies—can prevent future problems like fractures or nerve damage. It is for people with solid tumors and bone metastases that are at intermediate risk.
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.
