Methods: The research was a true experimental study with pre-test and post-test designs with a control group.

Respondents were selected randomly and divided into two groups, namely 32 in the treatment group (DRM <superscript>Pain Relief</superscript> application) and 32 in the control group (only received drugs as conventional therapy in the hospital). Data were analyzed using a multivariate test. Results: The application of DRM <superscript>Pain Relief</superscript> was effective in reducing the degree of pain (p <.001), and effectively increasing comfort (p <.001), as well as improving the quality of life of breast cancer patients in the components of improvement in symptom status, functional status, and global quality of life with p -value <.001,.003, <.001, respectively.
