Methods: This study included 79 participants (40 male and 39 female; median age, 65 (42–88) years) who had undergone radiotherapy for painful spinal bone metastases without paralysis. Patients’ age, sex, activities of daily living (Barthel index), pain, spinal instability (spinal instability neoplastic score [SINS]), and QOL (EORTC QLQ-C30) were investigated. Results: Having an unstable SINS score was a positive factor for global health status (<i>p</i> < 0.05). The improvement in activities of daily living and response to pain were positive factors for physical function (<i>p</i> < 0.05). A positive effect on emotional function was confirmed among female patients (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Conclusion: Engaging in rehabilitation along with radiotherapy leads to improvements in QOL for patients with spinal bone metastases.Yoshiteru AkezakiEiji NakataMasato KikuuchiShinsuke SugiharaYoshimi KatayamaHaruki KatayamaMasanori HamadaToshifumi OzakiMDPI AGarticlequality of lifespinal bone metastasesradiotherapyactivities of daily livingpainMedicineRENHealthcare, Vol 9, Iss 1499, p 1499 (2021)
