摘要

目的:探讨安慰和适当的机械支持对乳痛患者生活质量(QOL)和视觉模拟评分(VAS)疼痛评估的影响。材料与方法:前瞻性随访研究对象为年龄15-45岁,主诉乳房疼痛,临床及影像学未见异常的女性。在同意参与和登记后,所有研究参与者都被告知并保证疾病的非肿瘤性,并佩戴适当的机械支持/胸罩;这在每次随访中都重复进行。VAS用于评估妇女在每次随访中感受到的疼痛强度,干预后。采用SF-36量表评价健康相关生活质量(HRQOL)。结果:80例患者中,31.2%的患者穿着非棉质面料的Bra, 21.2%的患者穿着宽松的机械支撑/胸罩,10%的患者基线时没有任何机械支撑。每次随访的总体平均VAS评分显著降低,表明随着时间的推移,乳房疼痛的感觉降低。基线与3个月后SF-36平均评分差异有统计学意义(p < 0.05)。结论:放心和佩戴合适的机械支撑/胸罩可有效改善生活质量,减轻乳房疼痛/乳房痛。这些简单的过程应用于管理乳房痛。

Role of Reassurance and Proper Mechanical Support Advice on Quality of Life and Pain Relief in Patients of the Mastalgia-A Prospective Follow-up Study at A Tertiary Care Center in a Developing Country.

Objective: To study the effect of reassurance and proper mechanical support on quality of life (QOL) and visual analogue score (VAS) pain assessment in patients with mastalgia at a range of follow-ups.

Materials and methods: A prospective follow-up study was conducted among women aged 15-45 years, complaining of breast pain without any abnormality detected clinically and radiologically. After consent to participate and enrollment, all the study participants were counseled and reassured about the non-neoplastic nature of the disease and about wearing proper mechanical support/Bra; this was repeated at each follow-up. VAS was used to assess the pain intensity perceived by the woman at each follow-up, post intervention. The Short Form-36 (SF-36) scale was used to evaluate health related QOL (HRQOL).

Results: Among 80 patients, 31.2% were wearing a Bra of fabric other than cotton, 21.2% were wearing a loose fit mechanical support/Brassiere, while 10% were not wearing any mechanical support at baseline. The overall mean VAS score was significantly reduced with each follow-up, indicating decreased perception of breast pain over time. There was a significant difference between the mean SF-36 score between base line and after three months (p<0.0001). Mean scores in all domains of the SF-36 increased. The greatest reduction in mean VAS score was seen in 26-35 years age group and women with a body mass index <18.5 kg/m2.

Conclusion: Reassurance and wearing proper mechanical support/Bra are effective for improving QOL and alleviating breast pain/mastalgia. These simple processes should be used for the management of mastalgia.
