Oil vs. Tamoxifen for severe breast pain in premenopausal women
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares a new oil applied to the breast (External Mastalgia-oil) with the standard pill tamoxifen for treating severe breast pain in women who still have periods. The goal is to see if the oil is as effective as tamoxifen but with fewer side effects.
