Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Prevention

Outcome Measure:

Measure of discomfort of mammography

Outcome Description:

The Primary outcome measure will be the response to question 1 of the post-mammogram questionnaire: 'How painful was today's mammogram?' [O-no hurt, 1-hurts a little bit, 2-hurts a little more, 3-hurts even more, 4-hurts a whole lot, 5-hurts worst]. The response to question 2, 'Was the amount of pain you experienced something that might make you reluctant to return for your next mammogram?' [yes, no] will be of secondary interest. The response to question 5 of the pre-mammogram questionnaire: 'How painful do you expect today's mammogram to be?' [O-no hurt, 1-hurts a little bit, 2-hurts a little more, 3-hurts even more, 4-hurts a whole lot, 5-hurts worst] will be used for statistical adjustment and to compute a change score as described in the protocol.
