Active clinical trials for "Mastodynia"

This pilot project will provide an understanding of the contextual variables responsible for breast and nipple pain during breastfeeding initiation. These variables include, genetic variation, pain sensitivity, reactivity, pain catastrophizing and perceived stress. The purpose is to understand the efficacy of self-management (SM) strategies on each of these contextual variables, in an effort to inform a personalized approach to managing breastfeeding pain and its effect on improved health outcomes.

The purpose of this study is to determine if patient education can affect patient reported bone pain in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and pegfilgrastim.

Studies have shown that on-going pain following breast surgery is common and may limit the ability to participate in physical activity, cause tiredness, difficulty in daily chores/activities as well as other problems. This study is evaluating whether participating in a 12-week Qigong program (pronounced chee kung), an exercise program that involves gentle movements combined with breathing/relaxation techniques, also known as mind-body exercise, leads to improvement of pain, physical function, and quality of life among breast cancer survivors that have significant pain following surgery.

To find out if dexamethasone used as adjuvant to ropivacaine, a long-lasting local anesthetic, prolongs the duration of modified pectoral nerve block in women undergoing breast surgery.

Effective pain control is important following breast surgery as it improves quality of recovery, decreases the risk of chronic pain development and reduction of overall health care cost . Current strategies of pain management for breast surgery include use of opioid medication or addition of regional anesthesia along with general anesthesia. Serratus block and parasternal infrapectoral blocks are newly developed fascial plane blocks that are technically easy to perform, effective and safe based on our daily clinical practice and published evidence. We are comparing the addition of serratus and parasternal infrapectoral nerve block with general anesthesia to a combination of placebo and general anesthesia for breast reduction surgery. We propose that this would result in an improved efficiency resulting in early hospital discharge and improve quality of patient care, following breast reduction surgery .

The purpose of this study will determine the effect of muscle energy technique versus mulligan technique on neck pain in breastfeeding women.

Pain following mastectomy surgery for breast cancer can be significant. Poorly managed pain in the immediate time-period following surgery can potentially lead to long-term (chronic) pain conditions. There is still a need to find the safest, least invasive, and most effective method to manage this pain. The investigators believe that a new technique of injecting local anesthesia (freezing) in to specific areas at the end of mastectomy surgery may be a very important step to managing pain after breast surgery. The investigators would like to begin by performing a pilot study, meaning the investigators will perform the technique in patients and compare what their pain outcomes are to patients who have not had the technique.

History of clinical breast pain for at least the last six months. At least six days of moderate or severe breast pain per cycle. Fibrosis, cysts, nodules involving at least 25% of the surface of one breast. Euthyroid with no prior history of thyroid disease. Six months of daily therapy with molecular iodine. Placebo controlled vs active (1:1).

to identify the effect of omega-3 plus vitamin E cosupplementation on mastalgia in patients with FCC and to compare its effect with that of vitamin E only.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the incidence of chronic pain following breast cancer surgery in Cyprus, discover its associated risk factors and explore the impact of Pecs Blocks on the appearance of post mastectomy chronic pain symptoms
