Cryo-ablation trial for pain relief in bone metastasis
A prospective international trial was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of cryo-ablation in treating painful single bone metastasis. The trial enrolled patients with large lesions, with the mean size being 5.7 centimeters. The primary endpoint was a greater than two-point reduction in pain score, and secondary endpoints included opioid use and quality of life. The results showed durable and significant pain relief throughout the six-month follow-up period. The trial also aimed to increase the adoption of cryo-ablation for broader use, emphasizing the importance of expanding treatment options for patients.
