The Jadad scale was used to evaluate the quality of the articles. The inclusion criteria were: the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on Mastalgia and exclusion criteria were: no access to the full text and the existence of more than one intervention in each group and lack of control group. Results: In this study, 14 articles with inclusion criteria were evaluated which had antioxidant, flavonoid, anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties and had a good effect on Mastalgia relief.

The results of the meta-analysis on three studies showed no significant difference between vitamin E and Evening Primrose (p = 0. 648). Conclusion: Among all the above mentioned methods, Vitagnus and Vitamin E have more evidence for use in the treatment of Mastalgia. Further studies are needed to apply other methods.
