You know FDA cleared products are cleared if they are safe AND effective right? By their own admission, the study is FLAWED. How do we know? From the link YOU posted; Conclusion - These results suggest that PEMF therapy is effective for pain management in knee OA patients and that it also affects pain threshold and physical functioning. The use of a wearable PEMF therapy in knee OA can be considered as an alternative safe and effective therapy in knee OA, providing the possibility for home-based management of pain. Future larger studies, including head-to-head studies comparing PEMF therapy with standard pharmacological approaches in OA,are warranted. There's more. "Due to the open nature of the study(their own independent study), it could be argued that that the reported benefit is due to a strong placebo effect. However, their published randomized controlled trials using placebo controls indicate that the placebo effect is minimal with this medical device. Here's one more; "the actipatch was considered effective" and there is a possibility of bias related to the study. Bottom line if one actually reads the study, a needle(lancashire) in a field of haystacks has chosen not to recommend a product that by their own admission is effective. You should not disregard because you dont like the truth.

I assume, there are other organizations within the NHS network which have recommended prescribing for the device? Is that assumption not correct? If my assumption is correct, then why are they an outlier?
