This is a non-inferiority study in which the investigators compare two low-dose radiotherapy schemes, which are recommended from DEGRO Clinical Practice Guidelines (3 Gy vs 6 Gy) for the treatment of osteoarthritis and other osteodegenerative disorders.
A first randomization will be carried out among the patients included in the study:
The investigators will analyze the results obtained depending on the dose received and depending on the location of the treatment.
Painfull skeletal disorders are susceptible to be treated with low-dose radiotherapy. DEGRO guidelines recommend a dose between 3 and 6 Gy at 0'5 Gy/fraction or 1 Gy/fraction respectively. The investigators want to verify that both treatments (3 and 6 Gy) are similar to improve the pain and function in patiens with gonarthrosis and coxarthrosis, and there are no differences between both treatments, therefore, 3 Gy is not less than 6 Gy.
In this context, a prospective multicenter study is proposed. The study will include 338 patients to assess the efficacy of low dose irradiation (3 vs 6 Gy) in gonarthrosis and coxarthrosis.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radiotherapy 3 Gy | Active Comparator | Patiens will receive low dose gonarthrosis or coxarthrosis radiotherapy (0.5 Gy in 6 fractions alternating days). Evaluation of pain releave and quality of live in 8-12 weeks If no effect the patient will be randomized to 3 or 6 Gy again |
|
| Radiotherapy 6 Gy | Active Comparator | Patiens will receive low dose gonarthrosis or coxarthrosis radiotherapy (1 Gy in 6 fractions alternating days). Evaluation of pain releave and quality of live in 8-12 weeks If no effect the patient will be treated with 6 Gy again |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low dose radiotherapy A | Radiation | Low dose radiotherapy was 0.5 Gy in 6 fractions. Evaluation of pain and Quality of Life in 8-12 weeks. If no pain releave the patient is randomized to 3 or 6 Gy again |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Pain control at 8-12 weeks and every 6 months | To evaluate the non inferiority efficacy of low dose radiotherapy 3 or 6 Gy to change in pain with VAS (Visual Analogue Scale). The patient scores his painfrom 0 (no hurt) to 10 (hurts worst). It is better a low score. | At 8-12 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months |
| Quality of Life at 8-12 weeks and every 6 months | To evaluate the non inferiority efficacy of low dose radiotherapy 3 or 6 Gy to change in pain with WOMAC scale (Western Ontario MacMaster Questionnaire). This questionnaire has 24 questions about pain, joint stiffness and joint function. It is better a low score. | At 8-12 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Skin toxicity at 8-12 weeks. | Skin toxicity will be assessed and rated acording to the RTOG scale (0= no change over baseline; 1: Follicular, faint or dull erythema epilation, dry desquamation, decreased sweating; 2: Tender or bright erythema, patchy moist desquamation, moderate oedema; 3: Confluent, moist desquamation other tan skin folds, pitting oedema; 4: Ulceration haemorrhege, necrosis. | At 8-12 weeks. |
