Magnetic Bracelets help ease Osteoarthritis Pain

Professor Edzard Ernst from the Peninsula Medical School in Plymouth reported on a study using magnetic bracelets for easing pain for osteoarthritis in theBritish Medical Journal in 2004.

200 people with osteoarthritis were giver either a standard strength magnetic bracelet, a weaker strength magnetic bracelet of a dummy magnetic bracelet for 12 weeks.

Professor Ernst said "We found evidence of a beneficial effect of magnetic wrist bracelets on the pain of osteoarthritis of the hip and knee"

Those who wore the standard strength magnetic bracelet reported having less pain than those who wore the weaker strength magnetic bracelets.
