METHODS: This study is a triple blind controlled clinical trial performed on 67 women with cyclic mastalgia. Women randomly entered to an intervention group (34 patients) or a placebo (n=33) groups and training and proper nutrition were done. Vitagnus daily was given for three months in the intervention group (8 ml) and eatable paraffin (1 ml) mixed with water and honey (a total of 10 ml) was given to the placebo group. The pain from two months before to three months after treatment with VAS and McGill measuring instruments were compared. FINDINGS: The mean score of McGill in Vitagnus group decreased from 16.94±3.94 before the intervention to 9.50±5.32 in fifth month and in the placebo group decreased from 15.08±3.62 before the intervention to 13.08±4.29 in fifth month (p<0.0001). Mean VAS score in Vitagnus Group decreased from 6.59±3.35 before the intervention to 3.27±2.20 in fifth month and in the placebo group from 5.94±1.32 before the intervention to 4.94±1.81 in the fifth month (p<0.0001).
