description The market offers more and more products that are claimed to have medically positive effects (like increased blood perfusion etc.) due to their magnetic properties. The objective of this study was to investigate if blankets containing permanent (static) magnets have a greater impact on cutaneous blood circulation than ordinary blankets without magnets. Eight standard bred horses were used in a cross-over study. The cutaneous temperature was presumed to reflect blood flow in the skin and therefore thermography and local thermistors were used to indicate changes in circulation. Baseline values were registered before the blanket was applied. Additional measurements were made during and after removal of the blankets. The results were compared between the groups in order to see if there were statistically significant differences. The study did not reveal any significant differences in local and general skin temperatures between the two study groups. Thus, this study of a small number of horses could not support the idea that static magnets have any effect on cutaneous blood flow.
