Objetivo: Verificar a influência do protocolo fisioterapêutico, composto por eletroterapia e exercício físico em mulheres com mastalgia. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo clínico não-controlado com amostra intencional de dez mulheres com mastalgia, aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa (CEP) e realizado no Centro de Atenção a Saúde da Mulher e da Criança (CASMUC) da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA). Os instrumentos avaliativos aplicados antes e após o protocolo terapêutico foram à versão brasileira do Questionário de Qualidade de Vida Short Form-36 (SF-36) e Escala Visual Analógica (EVA), analisados pelo teste t Student, e Escala Medical Research Council (MRC), analisado pelo teste de Wilcoxon. O protocolo da pesquisa consistiu nas pacientes serem submetidas às sessões terapêuticas, duas vezes semanais, totalizando dez sessões. As condutas foram compostas pela utilização da neuroestimulação elétrica transcutânea (TENS) associado ao exercício físico. Resultados: Ocorreu redução significativa da dor na mama direita (p=0,0117*) e esquerda (p=0,0464*), pela EVA, melhora significativa na análise individual dos domínios de qualidade de vida relacionada à dor (p=0,0380*) e saúde mental (p=0,0015*) pelo SF-36 e melhora relativa da força muscular pelo MRC. Conclusão: O protocolo fisioterapêutico demonstrou eficácia frente ao quadro álgico das participantes, assim como resultados positivos na qualidade de vida e força muscular.

Context: Vitamin B6, which is known as pyridoxine, is used as a nutritional supplement for many therapeutic purposes in medical centers. Women's health is important because they are assumed as the guarantors of health in societies. Breast pain is a common complaint in women of reproductive age and one of the most common reasons for women’s referral to health centers. The present study reviewed the impact of vitamin B6 on breast pain. Evidence Acquisition: In order to gather relevant articles, the databases of IRCT, Iran Doc, SID, MagIran, Medline, Cochrane, Embase, PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Web of Knowledge were searched from 1980 up to July 2019. Keywords were extracted from MeSH, which included "Pyridoxol", "Rodex”, "PLP", "Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate", "Pyridoxine Hydrochloride", "Pyridoxine", "Vitamin B6", "Mastodynia", "Mammalgia", "Breast Pain", (Pain AND Breast), "Mastalgia", "Cycle Mastalgia", and "Non-Cycle Mastalgia". The same keywords were also searched in Persian databases. All selected studies had control and intervention groups and compared the pain-relieving effects of vitamin B6 with that of other therapies or placebo. Results: Among 338 examined articles, seven fulfilled our inclusion criteria and were included in the review. The results showed that vitamin B6 was more effective than placebo in improving breast pain even at low doses. Conclusions: Vitamin B6 is effective in relieving breast pain. However, there are also other supplements and medications to treat breast pain, so some factors like cost-effectiveness, availability, and side effects should be considered to choose a suitable agent.

BackgroundMastalgia often impairs the physical, social, and sexual lives of women. It may manifest in both cyclical or acyclical patterns. The psychoneurotic association of mastalgia has been claimed for a long time in various available literature. Several treatment options have been used and are available in the market for mastalgia, but no specific guidelines are currently in place at the global or local levels. This study aims to evaluate the psychological status and effectiveness of various treatment options in women presenting with mastalgia.
