Seventy-nine patients with osseous metastases were prospectively evaluated bone pain. The evaluation of pain has been accomplished using the Keele Scale system. All cases have been treated with radiotherapy. The therapeutic response for analgesic effect has been evaluated in complete response (CR) when total disappearance of pain was present; in partial response (PR) with the reduction of at least 1 point on the Keele Scale: in non-responsive (NR) when patients showed worsening or no change in pain symptomatology during or following therapy. 51.8% have presented complete response, 36.8% partial response and 11.3% no response. The global response (CR + PR) has been 88.6%. This response was evaluated in relation to fractionating daily dose of radiotherapy and minimum dose necessary for analgesia.
