The misery of period pain is something few women can avoid. Unfortunately, for too many women this will involve large doses of painkillers such as ibuprofen, aspirin or paracetamol for three or more days each month. And while these may be effective in the short-term, the drugs all have long-term side-effects including possible liver, kidney and gastro-intestinal damage.

Now, scientists at Reading Scientific Services Ltd have investigated the potential for magnet therapy in managing menstrual cramps. (Magnet therapy has already been shown to successfully relieve the pain of arthritis, Raynaud's disease (pain caused by very poor circulation to the extremities especially during cold weather) and other circulatory problems).

The LadyCare magnetic attachment - developed by magnet expert Derek Price who, through his company Magnopulse, has pioneered the use of magnet therapy - is light and unobtrusive and can be either clipped to the front of underwear or held in place with its own belt. The powerful magnet is contained in a plastic case measuring just two inches by one and a half inches. The case also contains a 'directional' metal plate to focus the effect of the magnetic field on the lower abdomen.

The scientists conducted a randomised, double-blind, crossover study at the Lord Zuckerman Research Centre at the University of Reading of 100 women with period pain. They found that 66 per cent of those taking part experienced less pain and needed significantly less medication when they used the LadyCare device.

The LadyCare device is thought to work by improving blood circulation in the uterine area. This stops the build-up of a chemical called lactic acid in the blood. Lactic acid is thought to be responsible for the muscle cramps.

The relief given by the LadyCare device seems to build up over a period of time, and the makers recommend women should start using it on the day before they expect menstruation to begin, and wear it until pains have subsided.
