Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
is to determine the efficacy of regimens in the participants in each group 1 Reduction of mastalgia cyclical and non-cyclical or heaviness discomfort by 80 per cent reduction of pain to less than or equal to 3 on VAS 2 Reduction in Lump Size or nodularity by 50 percent documented by Ultrasonography of the breast for quantitative analysis of FNAC or biopsy proven non-malignant or benign lesion of breast Timepoint: 4 weeks 8 weeks 12 weeks 24 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Tolerability means the toxic effects or side effect or Adverse drug reactions of regimens in the participants in each group 2. Cost effectiveness means saving of time and money by reduction in Number of OPD visits or reduction in cost or saving of time Timepoint: 24 Weeks
