I think thats one study by a team in the USA that said it doesnt work [magnetic therapy] but its hard to prove or disprove actually and as its very different than conventional therapy the medical world as usual gets scared as they need everything just so and so. Its like Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing [EMDR] gets critisism as its a newer technique but I have tried it and the methods do work, so I guess its allot of how the study was also conducted.
Link the actual study here so I can have a flick over it.

Cool----looks like the PA2 that was in talks years ago is finally coming to light. Hell--we talked about this way back when not long after the PA came out didn't we?

I don't have any direct links to studies as I'm not a member of any clinical science sites. I went over this in my Complementary/ Alternative Therapies (CAM) class and it was greatly disproven by scientific studies.
First oxygenated hemoglobin found in blood is not ferromagnetic which is the basis of all magnetic therapy. Actually deoxygenated blood is so in essence you would be repealing oxygen.
Second, for a magnet to be effective it would have to pass through the skin and into the tissues. The strength of the magnets used in magnetic therapy are highly variable. Most have been proven to be only slightly stronger than a refrigerator magnet which will not hold a paperclip through a sock. For it to be effective it would have to pass through the sock, through the skin and into the tissues.
There were other issues but those are the two I remember the most. Maybe magnets do work but it would have to be as strong or stronger than an MRI machine. Since most of the products floating around are no stronger than a refrigerator magnet the placebo effect is the only thing working there.
