BMJ Clinical Trial

In 2004 the British Medical Journal published the results of a two year trial sponsored by the Arthritis Research Campaign into the use of Bioflow on osteoarthritis of the knee and hip. The report documented this peer reviewed clinical trial in full.

What this study reports

• Static magnets are widely used for the relief of pain.
• Evidence about their efficacy in osteoarthritis is contradictory.
• Placebo effects are particularly difficult to control because of the easy detection of magnetism.

What this study adds

• Bracelets with static magnets decrease the pain from osteoarthritis of the hip and knee, over and above the effects of placebo.
• These benefits are supplementary to those from usual treatments.

The British Medical Journal insists on a high level of integrity in any trial they publish and this is the first peer reviewed trial in the world directly relating to specialist static magnets in regard to pain relief.
