Evening primrose oil moderately effective
In our exploration of treatment options for mastalgia, we focused on the effectiveness of evening primrose oil combined with vitamin E. Conducted at King George's Medical University, the study assessed 106 female patients suffering from breast pain.

We measured psychological status using the DASS-42 scale and pain using a visual analog scale. While topical NSAIDs showed a strong response rate, evening primrose oil and vitamin E had a notable effect in 6.98% of patients.

Overall, both treatments proved valuable, though we found no correlation between psychological conditions and pain severity.
