Study Overview: This study is testing low-dose radiation, a type of energy that helps kill cancer cells, to see if it can reduce bone pain in people with multiple myeloma, a cancer that affects the bone. The low-dose might be easier for patients and have fewer side effects.
Primary Goal: The main aim is to check if two low-dose radiation sessions can reduce pain in four weeks.
Secondary Goals: Researchers will look at how radiation affects quality of life and how much pain medicine is needed. They will also measure how quickly pain relief begins and how long it lasts.
Participation Details:
- Patients will receive low-dose radiation two days in a row. If pain is not better, more radiation might be given after four weeks.
- Follow-up visits are at 2, 4, and 8 weeks, and at 6 months.
- Patients must have multiple myeloma with painful bone areas and meet certain health criteria. They should not have had radiation at the pain site before or have certain conditions like possible bone fractures.
