 This project is to assess the effectiveness of the use of magnets in reducing chronic lumbar pain. I understand that I will wear a flex pad magnet during waking hours and keep daily Visual Analog Scale VAS pain scores to determine if wearing this device will reduce my constant pain. I understand that there are no adverse side effects known from the use of these magnets other than irritation at the site. The identical inactive pads shamplacebo have been supplied for use as controls.
