A study published in the journal PLOS One (Published online 2013 Sep 16) : A randomised Couble-Blind Placebo Controlled Crossover Trial
Conclusions
The overall findings of this trial indicate that magnetic wrist straps, and also copper bracelets, have no statistically significant, nor clinically meaningful, therapeutic effects upon rheumatoid arthritis. The devices worn in this trial offered little if no specific benefits, i.e. beyond those of a placebo, in reducing pain, inflammation, disability, disease activity, and medication use amongst this patient group.
