Wow! Worth The Try!, September 7, 2011
This review is from: Trion:Z Wrist Bracelet (Sports)
At 61 I was beginning to wonder where the "golden" years were. I have had chronic back pain, neck pain, pain under my right rib, knee pain, hip pain...pain, pain, pain! I have always been active, always exercise...I am on my treradmill every morning...Monday through Friday no matter how much I hurt. I was never sleeping through the night. Although I have tried magnetic bracelets with no success...I was willing to give the Trion Z a try. I have been wearing it now for many months. I can't tell you what day I started feeling better...it was a gradual thing. But one day I suddenly reralized that nothing really hurt! Overall, I feel so much more "normal". Do I never get "painful" now...of course not. But it doesn't stick around...it is more of a normal discomfort that "heals" and isn't chronic. My sleep pattern is so much better! Do I still have nights that I wake up and look at the clock, occassionaly but not very often.
I purchased this bracelet with no expectations that it was "mircle cure". But my quality of life has improved dramatically and I will never be without this bracelet! As some other reviewers have said...just a placebo effect? Who would care if the result is a vastly improved quality of life!

Give It a Try, April 29, 2010
This review is from: Trion:Z Wrist Bracelet (Sports)
This is one of those pain-relieving therapies you're just gonna have to try and see for yourself if it helps- because some find it cures all their aches and pains, while others find it's absolutely worthless.
Supposedly the bracelet combines the power of "minus ions and magnets" so it can counteract the positive ion build-up which is bad for you and causes problems. While I'm not sure about that, I do know that the placebo effect in medicine is about 30%. That means that if I prescribed a sugar pill to 100 people, and told them it was a medicine that would help their pain, about 30 of them would say it helped.
Give it a shot- you won't be out much and it could work for you. Also suggest checking out Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow too if you have chronic tennis elbow.

Q-Ray sued by the FTC for selling this, August 27, 2010
This review is from: Trion:Z Wrist Bracelet (Sports)
In 2006, the FTC won its case against Q-Ray for selling Ionized / magnetic bracelets and claiming they healed people. The bracelets were proven to have no effect beyond the standard placebo effect (You could consider this the power of positive thinking).
[...]
Q-ray was guilty of deceiving and defrauding its customers, claiming a bracelet would heal their pain.
Companies are required to find that pain relief claims of these type should be supported by competent and reliable scientific evidence consisting of at least one well-conducted, placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind clinical study.
This bracelet won't help you. It's just another company defrauding its customers. And it is almost certainly illegal.
