Following the initial pain assessment, an envelope containing a device was randomly selected from the box containing both active and inactive devices. This device was applied to the pain area for 45 minutes and then removed. The patient then evaluated his or her pain again at the region or trigger point. This second pain rating is the score analyzed here, Materials ‘The magnets used in the study were Bioflex magnets. The magnetic field consists of concentrically arranged circles of alternating magnetic polarity. Seventy active devices and seventy identical inactive devices were used.
