Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 (sham/placebo) have been supplied for use as controls. I will be randomly assigned into one of two groups and I agree to remain blinded as to the specific type of device that I will receive, i.e. active vs. placebo. Dr. Weintraub (principal investigator) will remain blinded throughout the study. I also agree to not break the blind. Dr. Weintraub has stated that as a result of my cooperation and ability to complete the study, I will be guaranteed to either keep my specific device or receive a specific known "active" device gratis. This currently sells commercially for $60.
