Research conducted at Isuzu Hospital
in Tokyo during 1976
Tokyo’s lsuzu Hospital tested magnet therapy on more than 11,000 people, in the classic study, 'Magnetic Deficiency Syndrome'.
The participants in the study suffered muscle spasm in the shoulder and neck region, with pain extending to the upper neck and head and down the back. With magnet therapy, 90% of the patients achieved significant relief from pain.
“In the search for a universal ‘cure-all’, none, at this point in time, could possibly fit the description as well as magnetic energy therapy. The application of magnets has given proven pain relief in seven out of ten users. As good as, or better than ‘orthodox’ medicine.” said Chief of Staff.
11,648 people were tested for the following pain conditions. General magnetic therapy was used. Women made up 57% of the total and men 43%. The most represented age group was 40-49 years.

Summary
Out of the 11,648, 92% stated magnetic therapy was effective for treating and indicating symptoms. The comments made by the 92% can be summarised into three categories:
- Very effective
- Effective
- Fairly effective
Less than 8% regarded the product as ineffective or not very effective. Usually, the effects became apparent on the second or third day of use. More than 90% of the results classified as efficacious appeared before the end of the forth day. (Note: No negative effects, such as aggravation of the symptoms, were reported.)
