Overall, the research findings so far do not firmly support claims that magnets are effective for treatment of pain. Findings from Reviews of Scientific Studies Reviews take a broad look at the findings from a group of individual research studies. Such reviews are usually either a general review, a systematic review, or a meta-analysis. There are not many reviews available on CAM uses of magnets to treat pain. Appendix II provides examples of six reviews published from August 1999 through August 2003 in English in the National Library of Medicine’s MEDLINE database.
