Filter by: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.
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.
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.
The main objective of this intervention study is to evaluate the efficacy of Lactobacillus fermentum CECT5716 to reduce the presence in the milk of genera Staphylococcus and Streptococcus as risk factors for mastitis in women with breast pain
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of toremifene treatment to the MRI findings of the breast in women suffering from premenstrual mastalgia.
This study will explore the effect of pre-medication with acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and topical lidocaine gel (Topicaine) on the perception of discomfort and overall satisfaction with the mammography experience. The research questions are: 1. What is the relationship between the use of acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and Topicaine prior to screening mammography and the perception of discomfort during the procedure? 2. What is the relationship between perception of discomfort and overall satisfaction with the mammography experience? 3. What is the relationship between the perception of discomfort and plans for future mammograms? 4. What other factors are associated with the perception of discomfort and satisfaction?
The study was a randomized, double-blinded, crossover trial of topical diclofenac and placebo (10 weeks of each) for the treatment of noncyclic breast pain.
Breast pain or mastalgia is a common and troublesome symptom for many women. Whereas cyclical breast pain related to hormonal fluctuations can frequently be treated, non-cyclical breast pain can go untreated due to its various etiologies and non-specific presentation. Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese medicine that has been used for centuries to treat a vast array of illnesses and conditions. Research has shown that acupuncture has a link to a release of endorphins and other chemicals in the central nervous system. Thus, it is thought to help relieve pain. To date, there has been minimal research using acupuncture for breast pain. This pilot of 30 women will seek to determine whether four acupuncture treatments over a period of two weeks will significantly lower the level of pain experienced by these participants. Additionally, we will evaluate quality of life measures.
