Abstract
This quality assurance initiative showed that palliative radiotherapy reduced both pain and its interference on function among ambulatory patients with symptomatic bone metastases. The reduction in pain was correlated with reductions in functional interference. Clinical trials of palliative radiotherapy should provide data that allow an evaluation of various domains of chronic pain.
