Do magnetic bracelets work?

The essentials

Static magnetic jewellery is widely sold, but claims that it treats pain or other conditions are not supported by convincing clinical evidence. Choose jewellery for its design, fit and materials rather than relying on it as a treatment.

The UK Advertising Standards Authority states that it has not seen convincing evidence of positive health effects from magnets worn on the body. Read its guidance on magnetic devices and therapies.
