Magnet therapy relieves pain.

REFUTED

Recorded sources

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that magnet therapy relieves pain?

No. Systematic reviews and a health-technology assessment report that magnet therapy is not effective for relieving pain, with the 2008 and 2012 reviews finding insufficient or unsupportive evidence and one review concluding it could not effectively relieve different types of pain. A single rheumatoid-arthritis review found no positive pain effect for static magnets.
