Interventional Radiology for Cancer Pain Relief
Part of Cancer, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether interventional radiology—minimally invasive procedures guided by imaging—can help reduce pain in people with advanced cancer. You may qualify if you have cancer that's spreading or locally advanced, are receiving active treatment, and are having an interventional radiology procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 whether a targeted radiation treatment to a nerve bundle in the abdomen (called the coeliac plexus) can reduce pain in people with advanced pancreatic cancer. If you have significant pain that isn't controlled by your current medications, this approach may help improve your comfort and quality of life.
This trial tests a higher dose of radiation to shrink large tumors and relieve pain in people with advanced cancer. It aims to improve quality of life by targeting up to three large tumors with a single treatment.
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 looks at giving radiation to shrink or control advanced cervical cancer to help with symptoms, especially pain. It is for people who are not good candidates for full curative treatment and are expected to have limited time, so the goal is comfort rather than cure.
This study tests a new way to help cancer survivors manage pain that started or got worse after their diagnosis. It's for people who rate their pain as 5 or higher on a 0-10 scale and live in rural areas or identify as Hispanic.
