Precision brain radiation aimed at easing cancer bone pain
NCT ID NCT03377517
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a single, highly focused dose of radiation to a tiny part of the brain (the pituitary gland) could help relieve severe, hard-to-treat bone pain caused by cancer that has spread. Only 5 people took part, and the study was stopped early. The goal was to see if this approach could reduce pain and improve quality of life when other treatments had failed.
