Summary

This study tests two simple, drug-free ways to help women feel less anxious and have less pain during mammograms and breast ultrasounds. One group will squeeze a soft stress ball before and during the scan. Another group will receive kind words and a gentle touch from the staff. A third group gets the usual care. The study will include 122 women having these tests for the first time.
