A new study published in Nursing Research tested the preliminary efficacy of the breastfeeding self-management (BSM) intervention on general and specific pain related to breastfeeding. In this pilot randomized controlled trial, 60 women intending to breastfeed were enrolled within 48 hours of delivery, of which 30 were randomized to the BSM intervention and 30 formed the control group. All participants provided baseline data before discharge and pain and breastfeeding measures at 1, 2, and 6 weeks. Participants in the BSM intervention group received educational modules addressing breast and nipple pain and biweekly, text-based nurse coaching and completed a daily breastfeeding journal. It was noted that women in the BSM intervention group reported significantly less breast and nipple pain at 1 and 2 weeks using a visual analog scale and at 2 weeks using the Brief Pain Inventory intensity scale, but no difference in breastfeeding duration. Hence, it was inferred that the BSM intervention pilot demonstrates a positive effect on breastfeeding specific and overall generalized pain.
