Cancer pain relief: is one radiation dose enough or do patients need two?
NCT ID NCT02699697
Summary
This study tested whether one or two radiation treatments work better for relieving pain from cancer that has spread to bones. Researchers enrolled 102 patients with painful bone metastases and randomly assigned them to receive either one or two radiation sessions. The goal was to see which approach provided better pain relief, reduced the need for additional treatments, and improved quality of life with fewer side effects.
