Can magnets cure constipation? new study tests magnetic belly therapy

This study tested whether applying a magnetic field to the belly can reduce constipation severity. 75 adults with chronic constipation were split into three groups: one received active magnetic therapy twice a week for 8 weeks, one received a sham treatment (device on but no magnetic field), and one received only standard education on managing constipation. All groups also got the same education. The main goal was to see if the magnetic therapy lowered constipation scores and improved quality of life.
