MAGNABLOG: Clinical Trial using Magnetic Mattress Pads for Fibromyalgia
Greetings friends & colleagues,
I hope this email finds you living a pain-free life and if not so much, just maybe our unique and patented pain relief technology can make a huge difference to your pain.
The COVID-19 pandemic has hit people with chronic pain especially hard. In a recent review at the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians (ASIPP) virtual meeting, Dr. Lamington noted, "Deferment in elective procedures, limited access to physical therapy and psychiatrists, and added psychosocial and emotional stressors have deteriorated their quality of life even more (for chronic pain patients). Some of us have had to prescribe pain medications until patients are able to get their treatment, which is even more challenging given the opioid crisis," he continued. "This has highlighted the need for innovative treatment options that are non-addictive, portable, and preferably non-invasive."
Work with the first Quadrapolar magnets was pioneered by Dr Robert Holcomb MD PhD, who was an Associate Professor of Neurology at Vanderbilt University in 1989. Years of research were conducted at the Vanderbilt University Medical Centre, Centre for Neuromagnetics. The next generation Quadrapolar magnet or Q Magnet was developed in 2009 by James & Dianne Hermans.
2009 saw the development of the Hexapolar magnet (6 alternating poles) and 2010 the launch of the Octapolar magnet (8 alternating poles) which increase the active areas of the magnet.
Research and design is ongoing as new and improved features and applications are developed to make Q Magnets more user friendly and to improve their therapeutic effect. We now have over 40 therapeutic magnets optimized to deliver the right dose to the right body part or offending nerve.
After many requests from patients, customers and doctors we have produced Q Blankets which also work as magnetic mattress pads. Made from quality polar fleece, our magnetic mats or blankets (depending on how you use them) come in 2 models – Q13 and Q28 with 13 or 28 of our most powerful therapeutic magnets, the QF28-6. These powerful neodymium Quadrapolar rare-earth magnets have been strategically placed in a matrix to provide the optimum circulation of equal amounts of magnetic field flow from both the north and south poles.

What piqued our interested in developing the world's only Quadrapolar pain relief magnetic mats/blankets was this clinical trial conducted in 1999 by Dr. Colbert.
Clinical Trial using Magnetic Mattress Pads for Fibromyalgia
There is a randomised controlled clinical trial that looked at the potential benefits of a magnetic mattress pad for reducing pain and improving sleep in people with fibromyalgia.
25 subjects completed the trial, 13 in the experimental and 12 in the control group. All subjects had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia syndrome by a medical specialist. Subjects slept on the magnetic mattress pad for 16 weeks, over which time various health outcome measures were recorded such as pain and global well-being scores, sleep disturbance and fatigue and tiredness on wakening.
The results demonstrate a statistically significant and clinically relevant pain reduction and sleep improvement.
Our improved magnetic mattress pads, the Q13 and Q28 Blankets and the largest Q35 deliver a more optimised field than the neodymium mags used in the trial. The most common user feedback we receive is, "the pain dropped from in just a few nights!"
I hope you find our developments as exciting as we do and take the time to try them. All our products ship with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and can be returned if not satisfied for any reason. There is a 99% statistical chance (based on our return rate) that Q Magnets work well for you. Order your set today and please don't hesitate to write to us if you have any questions.
Kind Regards,
James
