Pain is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms associated with metastatic spinal tumors. Effective pain management is essential for maintaining comfort, mobility, and emotional well-being.

Pain may result from tumor growth, nerve compression, spinal instability, or fractures. A comprehensive assessment helps determine the underlying cause and guide treatment.

Medications such as analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and opioids are commonly used. Adjuvant therapies including nerve-targeting medications may also be prescribed.

Radiation therapy and surgical stabilization can significantly reduce pain by shrinking tumors or reinforcing weakened vertebrae. Minimally invasive procedures may also be used to stabilize fractures.

Supportive therapies such as physical therapy, counseling, and palliative care enhance pain control and quality of life.
