Multi-study randomised controlled trial to develop, implement and evaluate bra prescription to reduce breast pain and improve quality of life.

Background: and Purpose: Breast pain is a common condition presented at breast care clinics and bras are often recommended to reduce symptoms, although criteria and pathways for obtaining appropriate bras are limited. This multi-study, randomised controlled trial (RCT) aimed to establish criteria and performance variables to prescribe bras for breast pain patients, to implement this bra prescription, and evaluate whether, compared to standard care alone, the bra prescription improves breast pain and quality of life (QoL).

Materials And Methods: Eighteen breast pain patients from a UK hospital were assigned to standard care or bra prescription groups and completed the study.
