8.40 (EX) Magnets for pain relief 1/5: A randomized, double-blind experiment studied whether magnetic fields applied over a painful area can reduce pain intensity. The subjects were 50 olunteers with postpolio syndrome who reported muscular or arthritic pain. The pain level when pressing a painful area was graded subjectively on a scale from 0 to 10 (0 is no pain, 10 is aximum pain). Patients were randomly assigned to wear either a magnetic device or a placebo device over the painful area for 45 minutes. Here is a summary of the pain scores for this xperiment, expressed as means + standard deviations: Magnetic device Place device (n=29) (n=21) retreatment 9.6±0.7 9.5 ± 0.8 osttreatment 4.4 +3.1 8.4±1.8 1.1 ± 1.6 hange 5.2 ±3.2 there good evidence that the magnetic device is better than a placebo equivalent at reducing pain? Let μ₁ and μ₂ be the mean change in pain for patients given the magnetic device or
