Parameter/Variables to be applied/measured Independent Variables i. Socio-demographic characteristics such as age, gender, address. ii. Family History Dependent Variables: i. Clinical symptoms associated with breast disease ii. Type of breast disease (benign or malignant) Outcome measures: Primary (main outcome): All dependent variables (i) Rational for statistical methods to be employed : Retrospective Study Data will be entered in Microsoft Excel and converted it into SPSS for statistical analysis For descriptive studies, percentage, ratio, mean, SD, median will be calculated along with graphical and tabular presentations. For inferential statistics, bivariate analysis will be done using χ2 test and independent t test to find out the significant differences between dependent and independent variables at 95% confidence interval and p-value significant at <0.05. Multivariate logistic regression will be done to adjust for confounding.

The goal of the current project is to assess performance of the Bounceless Control sports bra versus: (1) the Shefit Ultimate Sports bra, and (2) conventional bra as worn by participants in a variety of athletic activities.
The present study compares the Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block, Pectoral (PECS II) block, and Serratus-Intercostal Fascial Plane (SIFP) block. This is the first article to compare these three locoregional nerve block techniques in acute and chronic postoperative pain in breast tumour surgery. From June 1, 2018, to June 30, 2019, 103 patients undergoing breast cancer surgery were randomised to undergo one of three locoregional techniques (35 for ESP block, 34 for PECS II block, 34 for SIFP block). Locoregional techniques were performed under light sedation and then, general anaesthesia was used for the breast cancer surgery. Outcomes measured included pain (visual analog scale [VAS] in immediate postoperatory and at 24 hours. It also was collected opioid use at 24 hours, adverse events, and length of stay (for acute postoperatory). Moreover, at 3 months, a telephone interview was conducted with the patient and VAS was questioned. A year later, the patient was questioned again and asked for VAS, location of her pain, and pharmacological treatment. It was collected if patients were assisted or not by a Pain Unit.
The aim of this study is to investigate the sleep quality, anxiety and depression levels in women with mastalgia using internationally validated scales. Additionally the investigators aim to question the amount and frequency of consumption of nutritional elements which are known to aggravate mastalgia. Finally by combining and analyzing the information gathered, the investigators intend to set light to the etiopathologic and clinic aspects of mastalgia.
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
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide according to International Agency for Research on Cancer. Unfortunately, cancer survivors often face long-term symptoms that occur or persist after completion of treatment. In addition to fatigue, pain is the most common persistent symptom after cancer and cancer treatment. The diagnosis and treatment of pain in cancer survivors is not clear for many physicians. A mechanism-based classification of pain in cancer survivors might be a critical step for clinical reasoning, especially for discrimination of different pain types. The primary aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of the predominant type of pain in Turkish breast cancer survivors using a recent published clinical algorithm.
The proposed randomized study evaluates whether a controlled breathing intervention could be efficacious for reducing pain in the MRI-guided breast biopsy setting. Support for this intervention stems from experimental and clinical studies on the effects of controlled breathing on pain. Implementing a controlled breathing intervention during MRI-guided breast biopsy has the potential to provide effective pain management in this outpatient setting. The primary study objectives are to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a novel audio-recorded controlled breathing intervention for reducing breast and body pain in women undergoing MRI-guided breast biopsy. The secondary study objectives are to evaluate the effects of controlled breathing on measures of physiological reactivity (i.e., blood pressure and heart rate), pain catastrophizing, and self-efficacy for pain and anxiety.
The purpose of this research study is to determine how well the local anesthetic, liposomal bupivacaine, controls postoperative pain after mastectomy and breast reconstruction.
Background: Breast pain, mastalgia or mastodynia, is recognized as an organic benign breast disease. Mastalgia may be bilateral, may be in only one breast or part of one breast, and may radiate to the axilla and down the medial aspect of the upper arm. This study aimed to evaluate the additional pulsed radiofrequency of 2nd , 3rd and 4th thoracic dorsal root ganglia to the routine regimen treatment of mastalgia tamoxifen 10 mg daily may improve breast pain severity and quality of life. Method: Patients was randomly classified into two groups:Group A (n=13): they was received Tamoxifen 10 mg daily. Group B (n=13): they was received Tamoxifen 10 mg daily and pulsed radiofrequency of 2nd , 3rd and 4th thoracic dorsal root ganglia. The following parameters were monitored: Primary outcome: VAS after injection and at interval two weeks, 1, 2 and 3 months after injection. Secondary outcome:1-Immediate complications for ex. Hematoma, neurological deficits or respiratory insufficiency (dyspnea or pneumothorax).2-Need for analgesic intake was recorded.3-Side effect of Tamoxifen as nausea, vomiting, hot flashes and dizziness.4-Quality of life (The American Chronic Pain Association's Quality of life scale).
