Sponsor's own description

Most of the women complain about the pain and discomfort during the mammography procedure. It is reported in the literature that most of the time these pain and discomfort are due to anxiety-related causes. During counseling before mammography scan, it was also observed that most of the women had a general belief that mammography is a very painful procedure and they have a negative perception about mammography. Thus, the Majority of pain seems due to anxiety-related issues. Studies also support this evidence and it is reported in the literature that most of the women avoid mammography scans due to this negative perception which causes delay and ultimately a late diagnosis. To validate the exact nature of pain and discomfort during mammography and to find out the strategy to cope with this anxiety-related pain and discomfort, there is a dire need for a study that can address this problem. Additionally, in our setup, most of the women who came for mammography are illiterate and belonged to the low socio-economic status. In these women, due to the negative perception, refusal or withdrawal rate is higher for mammography scans. A thorough literature search has revealed studies on this issue are scarce both nationally and internationally. In the current study, Paracetamol will be used as a possible intervention which is the safest premedication for reducing pain while achieving standard compression which is necessary for good image quality. Thus, this study can help develop a strategy to control mammography discontinuation due to pain and discomfort.
