This study will evaluate the efficacy of cryoablation for palliation of painful metastases in participants with metastatic lesions involving bone who have failed, are not candidates for, or are not experiencing adequate pain relief from current pain therapies (for example, radiation, analgesics).
Participants with painful metastatic lesions involving bone who meet the eligibility criteria and who have been determined to be an appropriate candidate for cryoablation therapy were offered enrollment into the study. Participants agreeing to participate will read and sign an informed consent form and thus become participants in the study. Treatment will be performed using a Galil Medical cryoablation system and Galil Medical cryoablation needles. Participants will have one cryoablation procedure and will be followed for up to 6 months for palliation of pain, quality of life, and analgesic usage. Baseline and follow-up data will be collected for each participant via a web-based electronic data collection tool.

Change From Baseline in Worst Pain Scores as Assessed by the Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) at Week 8
The BPI-SF is a validated instrument used widely in clinical research to assess cancer pain. Assessments were of self-reported worst pain scores in the last 24 hours in the target lesion treated with study cryoablation on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain imaginable) using the BPI-SF. Improvement in self-reported pain scores is defined by ≥2-point reduction in worst pain. A mean difference of a 2-point reduction is considered clinically significant, that is improvement. Baseline data and change from Baseline data at Week 8 is presented.
Time frame: Baseline, Week 8
