Extensive laboratory testing has shown that it's not the magnetic field strength, but the field gradient (steepness of the slope of the magnetic field) that is the determining factor in alleviating pain. This unique steep field gradient generated by the Quadrapolar array is what blocks the pain signal. This is why the QuadraBloc™ Science is so effective when placed over the irritated nerve. Over a decade of cell research was done at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville Tennessee and clinical data was collected at various Medical Centers and Universities around the world. |

The QuadraBloc™ is a device made of four magnetic bodies, which alternate polarity on the face of the device.
Technically, it is a quadrapolar, static, symmetric, alternating pole magnetic flux generator. The design creates very intense field gradients (strong magnetic fields), which are essential for the effectiveness of QuadraBloc™. Graphical View of QuadraBloc™ Intense Magnetic Field Gradient QuadraBloc™ was perfected in a university medical center. The mechanism has been proven to be in part related to stabilization, or repair of damaged cell membranes. The magnetic flux field stabilizes, or blocks sodium and calcium ion channels, as well as, stops cells from leaking fluid. This is important for stopping abnormal painful impulses. This has been demonstrated in studies in the laboratory, animals and humans. By blocking the generation and/or conduction of abnormal pain fiber impulses, through controlling these ion channels, QuadraBloc™ turns off the pain signal to the brain. When the pain signal is turned off, the pain goes away.

Pickett and A.V. Cavopol A 2x2 randomized double-blind cross-over study was done to assess the efficacy of the MagnaBloc™ in reducing low back and knee pain in 54 patients at two centers. The MagnaBloc™ is a magnetic treatment device which contains a quadripolar permanent magnet system. Pain was assessed using visual analog scale, ranging from zero (no pain) to 100 (maximal pain). Prior to any treatment the average pain rating was 52.9. |
